This whole situation bothers me about my "new" HG54HD also. I look at
the mounting position of the rotor and wonder why it isn't further down
inside the top section. Has anyone successfully moved one down on this
tower? I've got the thrust bearing, but in my mind, the rotor needs to
be several feet lower, even for a short mast, a tri-bander, and a vhf
yagi.
