I have an MA40 with MARB base and tilt feature so my Tailtwister is at the
bottom.
I don' know if the problem I have is new or existed and I missed it when
installed.

The rotator drive stub that protrudes out of the bottom should go in the
the center of a pipe secured to the Tailtwister. A bolt goes through the
pipe and the of the tower  stub so the entire tower rotates.

I noticed that the drive stub is not center in the middle of the pipe, so
when the tower turns there is a wobble.

I loosened bolts on the  Tailtwister but it does not move from its platform
on the MARB 40.  I cannot find a way to center it. The drive hub is off to
the side a bit and this causes the wobble.

Anyone have any experience with this?
.

Like I said , I do not recall if I centered it when we put it up.

I saw the wobble and became concerned.

Hope someone can help.

Tks very much.

73,

Gerry
