Agreed Arne! That is the way I'm going to make mine. No need for the extra
piece welded to the angle under the rotor plate. I neglected to mention
that.

And un-necessary welding also. Just turn one of the angles over and mount
below the rotor plate . That is what I did in 1991, got idea from a friend
in Oregon, call not mentioned as he is not all that active recently. A
company in Oregon made some of that design. Mine is a dual yagi system
rotating a LJ-105CA (element locations OK) and a slightly modified LJ-155CA
(had to lengthen boom on one end about 18 inches and reposition elements to
get adequate clearance).
