[TowerTalk] Comparison between Tailtwister and Yaesu G-1000SDX rotors

[hdmc38 at bellsouth.net]

Hello Charles
       I have the G-1000DXA 35' up on rohn 45G.It turns a Force 12 C3S/HH.The HH is for 140 MPH wind load.This antenna weighs 75#.The rotor is on one shelf,then there is another shelf with a thrust bearing,and then a flat top 45AG section with another thrust bearing.Been up about 3 months.No problems yet.Have not even had to go back up the tower.Never ran a Tail Twister but heard it is also a fine rotor.The connectors on the Yeasu are a pain to set up but once there done no problem.Hope this helps.

> I am going to put up a Hy-Gain TH7DX this spring, and would like to have opinions from those who have used both the Tailtwister and the Yaesu G-1000SDX rotors. Which one seems to be the better in terms of construction, reliability, overall quality of construction? The antenna will be one a 40' foot tower by itself. I suspect that either will turn the antenna without any issues, but would like some first hand opionions. I'm probably going to be buying a new one.
