Steve, the pics you sent me look great. Thank You.

I was going to start making a nice looking boom & stick next but, I am going to make up the Jack/Auxiliary boom first and get that working properly. The more I look at all the info I can see why the hoist drum cable is compounded 3 times...it is because the pulley at the top of the stick is so close to the pivot point you need 3 times the power to pull it up and it will rise 3 times as fast because it is so close to the pivot point. But....when I tried moving the pulley attachment closer to the pivot point it made it much harder for the stick to extend all the way? It could be the fact that I am running it without a Jack boom (hoist cable too low of an angle) that is causing the extension problem. I'll keep experimenting.
