At 40 kph or less who gives a rats how whippy it is and in actual use the whippy flags are easier to spot in the bush anyway.
I used a black widow sand flag whilst I was driving around the dunes etc around beachport and robe last week. I found it to be extremely flexing to the point it would flex back to my roof rack on the cab when I had the three poles connected. If I only had two poles connected it wasn't too bad. Only thing is it wasn't high enough for legal height for Simpson as it needs to be 3.5 metres above ground
Ps. I have a black widow flag and pole set up if anyone wants to borrow for the Simpson trip. As I can no longer make the trip. I won't be needing it
This is mine, extendable but rigid as and no spring base but I made one up during the week but I think the spring is not strong enough but I guess it will do for the Simpson it's not like we will be doing 100kph or will we lol.

I have an adjustable Paint Roller handle that is long enough and looks just like that but was concerned that is was Rigid and i might take it out on a tree or something?? Might go with what AB has i reckon.Quote:

Is having a whip a good thing or not?
It's more about the thing standing up and not being so flexible that it hits your cab every time you go over a big bump. It would drive you nuts.Quote:
