I have some Green Heron Controller boxes which are supposed to work with
prop pitch type rotors. They are self contained in a box not much bigger
than a Tailtwister controller. The drain can't be all that bad.
No clue on the grease.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Prop Pitch info wanted
Hello all,
I am getting ready to "retire" an overloaded Tailtwister rotator with a
"small" prop pitch motor (9,576:1 reduction
ratio) and was wondering about a couple of details in regards to putting it
in service.
I was thinking about putting a light coating of low-temp grease on the gear
surfaces inside the gear housing, as I understand that it's not advisable to
fill it with oil, due to the motor being mounted in a vertical position. Is
that an advisable thing to do?
Also, I am planning on operating the motor on 24 volts D.C. and was
wondering how large of a DC power supply will be needed. Does anyone know
what the normal current draw (in D.C. amps at 24 volts) would be for this
motor?
Thanks for any help!
