Just remember, I have the hustler 5BTV which is only 25 feet, or there 
about, and they said it wouldn't need to be guided. Big mistake, it shifted 
the dirt at the base and was leaning, I was able to guide it and fix that 
problem before it got to be a major problem but anything taller than that 
I'd say should definitely be guided for a permanent install. I have a lot of 
fun with it. Maybe my problem was being in a trailer park, all our roof 
lines are about 12-15 feet so that antenna extended 10 feet above any roof 
for miles of here so it got a lot of wind, I'm just saying if it should be 
fine or not, it might be a good idea to guide it.
