I own two create models that you indicated....
I have not a problem with the rotor. It works each and every time and does not
cost as much as the Orion which I looked at buying at one time..
There have been some concerns about the collars but I have never had one.
I am running a KT34xa at 72ft and a 2 el 40 (402cd) cushcraft at 10 feet above
that. The preselect on the rotor box is sweet and works every time. No
problems
in any weather.
I would suggest you think about the diff between the bolt layout.
If you are unsure I can send you a copy of the bottom of the rotor on my
paperport.
I am using a Tri-Ex 470d tower.
There is a an adapter plate you can get which will match the tail twister or
hygain pattern.
It handles somewhere in the neighborhood of 22 - 25 sq feet.
I have excellent response on questions from EDCO in Va.
Take care and hope you make a wise choice--- by the way if you go to Dayton
EDCO
has a booth there
