    It won't? I can get them in and out of 25G thru the Z-bracing without too 
much trouble - use of some creative colloquialisms doesn't hurt though. It'll 
even rotate unimpeded.

    The TailTwister is another story. There's no way it'll go into 25G where 
there are braces - you need a beacon plate top or tapered top. 

    I think this is what Juice (K4OJ) was talking about when he said to turn 
the rotator plate upsidedown - then the T2X ears will miss the braces whilst 
rotating.
