Query: is the pole longer, shorter, or the exact same as the width of the tarp?
I'm assuming a little longer, or else where does the curve come from. If longer, how much?
I'd like to modify my MacCat Deluxe the same.
And yes, that pole pocket design is sweet!

SoundMan,
Why did you choose to use the "145 degree arch"? Wouln't the poles bend to that arch on its own? Just asking because I'm getting that mod done along with the sewn on tarp doors. Do you think the poles would bend a 90 degree arch on it's own? BTY, it looks great.
Donna from 2QZQ called me this morning to let me know my order was completed and being mailed today.
I have the MacCat Deluxe as well. I had tarp doors added to both ends, plus pole pockets installed.
I ordered my poles from Quest Outfitters. Tim had informed me what I would need and I ordered the following:
#4080 TENT POLE-NANO W/INS .344 18 inch Black 5
#4081 TENT POLE-NANO W/O INS .344 18 inch Black 1
#4030 ENDTIP DOME STYLE .340 2
#2402 NARROW ELASTIC CORD 3/32 inch Black
The arch was not needed. The total weight was @ 115 grams. The cost for just the poles were @ $19. If I went with Carbon Fiber # $35, & @ 100 grams. Almost double the cost for very little in weigh saving. I'll post some pictures, and review once I get it. The pole pockets that I have put on are different as well. No tie out. I'm guessing his already had a tie out located at that location.
Tim has complete instruction on how to assemble the poles and cut them as well. If you need them, let me know & I'll post them with my review.
thanks for posting 1thing -
i wonder, could the final pole size / recommended order from quest be listed here too, for the actual wb superfly mod?
