Subject: more on Ham4 into 25g
> There have been several well thought out possible solutions to my question
> of how to mount a Ham 4 rotor into the middle of a 25g section (half way
> up at abt 4.5 feet). I am beginning to wonder if in fact I really have a
> T2X (or a modified Ham 4) instead of the Ham 4. Never had a T2X so I
> cannot readily tell the difference. But I do know this: There is no way
> on God's little green earth I am gg to push, pry, shove, twist or

> I don't have a big enough set of calipers to accurately measure the max

> This is a puzzle I really wud like to find the answer to...any help?
