I am using a Yaesu G-2800DXA on a US Tower Rotor Base to turn MonstIR#1...
No problems with it whatsoever for more than a year, but the Rotor base
takes up the entire vertical load...
Take a look at www.ky6la.com for the MonstIR Project details and photo
shoots...

Subject: [TowerTalk] Big rotators
I'm kicking around idea right now for my relocation out to KH6...if I ever
get to go. Right now the MonstIR for 40 is looking pretty good. One
problem...it is a beast with about 23 sq ft of wind load. I've always been
a T2X
guy, but that rotator would be beaten to death by this one.
Any idea for a rotator gutsy enough to handle this, besides a prop-pitch?
No HDR-300s please.
