Have 3 Orion Rotors with 20 Sq. ft of antennas on them in very windy
conditions for over 6 years. They work fine.Maybe I am just lazy but I
don't like to spend the time to replace dead rotors because it is a lot of
work for no satisfaction. All rotors will fail at some point. Here on Maui
a Ham 4 turned a 3 el 40 meter yagi for over ten years and it lasted
longer then the beam.
Aloha, Al
