I have had 2 C3's, 1 C4, 1 C31XR, and 2 different 80 mtr rotatables including the large 180C (84') and I have NEVER had any "fallout" and I am up here in northern MN with lots of high winds, snow, and ice. I have drilled out and replaced dozens of rivets in these antenas in the course of tuning. Not that I haven't fealt like a "beta" sight at times with some other problems, but nothing has fallen apart. EVerything is currently working great!
