I have a HyGain Tailtwister rotor mounted inside seven sections of Rohn 45.  I 
plan on placing a 10 foot mast into the rotor (2" O.D. 
galvanized steel pipe), through a heavy duty thrust bearing, and on the mast, a 
HyGain TH-11 (not exactly a featherweight itself).  
My question is:  How much weight will the Tailtwister rotor handle? 

Is potentially this too much weight?  I have been told that the HyGain rotors 
will handle up to 1000 lbs of weight.  While I'm not 
close tot hat weight, this is a heavy amount.  Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks in advance,

Dave, W8QW
