Fascinating.  I turn mine with an Orion 2800 and Green Heron rt20.  I 
have it set to ramp up and down to full speed and of course the stops 
are out of the rotor.  Takes two minutes to turn it 360 degrees and I 
have never ever noticed any overshoot, even in heavy wind.  I suggest 
you re-read the rt-20 manual, especially the ramp up-down feature and 
soft limit feature.  73 bob de w9ge
