Brushie...
He only had to hit the lower part, and push... to topple it over. Thats unless you're gonna cheat and put grounding spikes on the tower feet to keep her from 'blowing' over in a stiff breeze.
You gonna make a weather sock too?

I really gotta laugh, 'cause that 88 dio showed summat I've considered for a while, and that someone else used it in a really good scene makes me believe I was right: metal sewing machine bobbins (thread reels) make really good cable reel drums. See the 'black wire/hose' in the forground outside the emplacement proper? Those are sewing machine bobbins. You can get 'em in the Dollar Store, varies between 4-6 for no more than a Twonie. And if you make a stand, you can actually have the cable come off the reel... like the detonator wires on the reels for demo units/engineering squads.
As I'm always saying... look at something not as it ~is~, but what it ~could~ be. Do so and your path to " Thinking Outside The Box " has taken a considerable step forward.
- off to ~finally~ secure his gun-switches in his Tx casings...

PS: anyone ever find the ptroper contacts for the switches on the 6YG Tx's? The normal place like on the 4's does NOT work, and the usual tutorial page is NO help, its ancient and hasn't been updated in ages.
