Take the good, ignore the bad. Ed is of his meds.

The GB mast crane is great, it lets you work slowly and without stress. The
wiinch has a built-in brake, so you can stop anytime. Unless you have
reliable helpers, it is a necessity. Around here all the helpers either
drink beer or have family obligations or something. It is a little bit dear,
but having people stop and gape while you do it solo is priceless
