Hardline and Rotors

[Floyd Soo, KF8AT]

Gang,

I have heard somewhere that 1/2" Heliax will work fine around a rotor.  
I've been told that a spiral rap of a couple of turns will allow enough 
slack for antenna rotation without ill effects to the hardline.  I was 
also told that std 1/2" Heliax works better, or is more durable, than 
super-flex.   Any thoughts??
