I make a nice permanent ink mark on the casing and base
to indicate alignment of a rotor to north. That way, when I'm
checking it out on the ground, I know to align the marks
BEFORE I disconnect it from the rotor control box and go
up the tower with it.
(sorry for the use of the term 'north' here).
