There is a very nice guy that lives just south of Leesburg off of Hwy 27 in Spanish Village. He has done flagpoles over 100 ft high, down to small telescoping ones. He stocks them and installs them if you want. I forgot his name off hand, I'll try to find it...

How do you get the 110 volts up above the flag? Seems to me the wire would get tangled in the flag.
