I turned my 2-element cubical quad with an AR22 years ago. I had it mounted
right on top of the tower with no thrust bearing. The quad had an 8-foot boom
and only about 3 1/2 square feet of wind load. The AR-22 worked fine, but with
any significant wind, it turned and I had to recalibrate the direction
indicator. That was annoying but I lived with it for a few years before
getting a heavier duty rotor.

Subject: [TowerTalk] AR-22 Rotor
I just pulled an AR-22 from storage.
Does anyone have experience using it with a light tribander, with the rotor
down in the tower, of course?
Except for the bad capacitor, it seems in great shape.
There was a BRAND NEW coil of flat control cable with it, but the insulation
had hardened and would break off if the cable were flexed!
Now it’s in the scrap bin.
