Does anyone seriously believe they can overload a crank-up 
tower and protect it with a wind-direction controlled rotor?

I  HOPE   NOT  !

Don't  tell  your insurance  agent  that  you  were counting 
on the automated rotor to minimize the wind  load in time.

The wind can change directions in a hurry.
It takes 15 to 20 seconds to rotate 90 degrees, 
after the command is issued.
