Re: [TowerTalk] G-800SA capability

[Pete Smith <n4zr@contesting.com>]

I think that is probably a bit much.  My G-800SA is on a swinging gate 
side-mount, turning a Force 12 C-3E, and I find it occasionally will stall 
as the beam goes through the point at which the side-mount arm is 
perpendicular to the prevailing wind.  This only happens with wind > 30 
miles an hour, but I think it is an indication that the torque of the motor 
is limited.  I would anticipate problems turning that much wind area under 
some circumstances, and the possibility of damage to the brake, although 
mine has not shown any tendency to drift so far.
