Mounting the boom to the mast/rotor at the center of the antenna's
aerodynamic drag greatly reduces/eliminates wind induced torque. Two
basic ways to achieve aerodynamic balance: 1. select the boom mounting
position to balance drag and or 2. add a drag device to provide balance
(fin etc.)

That is a bad idea, the torque force on the rotor under high winds will become

## with more boom on the shorter ele side.....vs the longer ele side,
the required rotor
torque will be sky high. They have mounted the boom at its CG.
They should have
mounted at center of boom, and added a counterweight at light end of
boom.
