Benchrest windflag cart

[TonyinKY]

This is my homemade cart to store/transport/deploy my eight 100-300 yd. windflags. The double vane flags aren't as easy to store as the single vanes but I find them quicker to read. The local ranges require a vast assortment of pole lengths so I've got 10. The cart readily lays down during transport. You can snap out a pole, pull a hairpin to release the flag and use the same hairpin to secure the daisywheel to the flag very quickly. I made this cart from repurposed material and have less than $30 in it. There's a lot of aluminum here and this whole outfit weighs much less than you would imagine.

That thing looks great......I would put taller wheels on it for the rough stuff. Nice Job.......

High cap cart eh? How many minions does it take to relay the info or do you use a spread sheet?
I have a couple of vehicles my self I've sequestered for that duty once I get past the noob stage of wind gandering. Well executed.

Like the cart but would really like to know where your poles come from, or how you made them ( materials ) ?

I've been sworn to secrecy about these poles. The craftsman says he can't build enough as it is and doesn't want to get into internet sales or shipping. I can tell you that they are PERFECT and I built this cart as much to protect these poles than as a convenience.

Not any help but thanks anyway.

You can go to a shortwave radio shop and they sell antenna tubing. All slide into ea. other. I think it comes in 12 lengths.
