We have 28 foot ceilings and want our 96 fan to hang at about 14-16
off the ground. That means we need a downrod length of 12-14 ft. Is it
safe to buy two long (6 or 7 ft) downrods and couple them together?
please help!!

That sounds very dangerous.

A few years ago a man lifted his infant son above his shoulders. He did
not think about the ceiling fan above. That infants head was decapitated
immediately. And that was just a normal home fan. Not an aircraft
propeller like you have. Sell that killer fan for scrap metal and buy an
air conditioner.


It'll be fine.* Just holler "clear prop" before you turn it on!
