You should read the manual and use their formula for calculating the antenna 
load.

I recently acquired a Yaesu G800S rotor and Sommers
XP504 yagi (both used).  I am considering adding the
17 and 30M mods to the Sommers, making it into an
XP507.  By doing that, the wind loading would be 11 sq
ft, according to mfr.

I can't quite determine what the actual max wind load
is for this rotor.  One thing says 10 & another says
17.

Does anyone know what this rotor is rated for?  Mni
tnx!!
