As I see my stack of beams swinging back and forth in the wind I am thinking 
about adding a flexible shaft coupling above the rotor
to absorb the shock,  I have read somewhere about using automotive drive shaft 
flex couplings and adapt them to clamp on to 
our 2" masts.  I used to have one of Bill Orr, W6SAI books on antennas and if I 
remember right he used one for a Volvo, and it
had a rubber donut between two flanges.  Anyone make a flexible coupler for 
their mast and would share what you used ?
