I really think the cobra ultralite will be good, I've never had any luck 
with the G5RV with heavy wind, or staying up with out maintenance for more 
than 2 years or so. It's frustrating so I'll try the cobra, I think that 
will be better. I also think my next cobra ultralite, if there is a next 
one, will be home made because it looks 100% simple to make on your own and 
a lot less money than the price they charge for it.
