Roger,
I was the one that made that statement. My reference was to the Prop Pitch
drive motor, not the Tailtwister. Apples and oranges. Following is the
reference:

Now lets do the math. If the output shaft turns @ 1 RPM, then I submit that
the motor better be turning @ 9,576 RPM. Bear in mind this is a series DC
motor and basically the rpm is limited by inertia and friction, including
the target load.
