Matt Hartel wanted some experience moving something heavy so the morning we switched plans to test fitting the 1 ton deck crane. The crane will pick up 2.5 tons, but it weighs about 1 ton. Drew Morgan, another mechanical engineer showed up so we make surprisingly quick work of it. It turns out to have been a really good idea to test fit the deck crane as we decided to change the mount location to make it easier to walk around. And then we decided on the amount of reinforcing that needed to be added for both the crane and the main mast.
