Dave,
You might want to take a look at the reviews on Eham. Personally that sounds
like a lot of antenna for a Tailtwister-one question you have to ask is that
if a bad storm/winds come up are the gears and braking mechanism going to
hold? I have a TH-11 and a Cushcraft XM-240 on top of it and I use a good
old fashioned prop pitch with a K7NV controller. You might also look at the
Orion 2800. I would rather over engineer rather than under.
73,
Steve, WD8NPL

Subject: [TowerTalk] Max antenna weight
I have a HyGain Tailtwister rotor mounted inside seven sections of Rohn 45.
I plan on placing a 10 foot mast into the rotor (2" O.D.
galvanized steel pipe), through a heavy duty thrust bearing, and on the
mast, a HyGain TH-11 (not exactly a featherweight itself).
My question is: How much weight will the Tailtwister rotor handle?
Is potentially this too much weight? I have been told that the HyGain
rotors will handle up to 1000 lbs of weight. While I'm not
close tot hat weight, this is a heavy amount. Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dave, W8QW
