I'm a newie to this list and never heard of AlphaSpid until a few months
ago. So I went to their web site. Looking at their comparison chart I
see that their rotor has the second lowest vertical load capacity, 550
lbs. 

My mast and antennas weigh more than this. Do the owners of these rotors
allow the thrust bearing to support the mast, or do they use lightweight
antennas and masts?
