Hello Peter:

I think you are asking whether the 1/2 cellflex will be too big
or not flexible enough to go around the rotor. 

As far as I am concerned, I wouldn't use it.  If you can use the 1/2"
or 7/8" all the way up the tower, the last 10 feet around the mast can
be regular RG-8 style coax without any bad effects (at HF of course).
