[TowerTalk] Rotor Plate LM-470

[NPAlex at aol.com]

That is the way the plate works, hooks over the  cross bars, torques against 
the uprights.  Works fine, I have had three  LM-470's using Ham M or Prop 
Pitch motors and never a problem.  The weight  of the mast holds it secure.

Does anyone know how the  rotator plate for an LM470D stays fastened to the 
top
section of the crank-up  tower?

Mine doesn't have any means of fastening, but it force fits into  the tower 
and
would probably stay there if the rotator, mast, and thrust  bearing were in
place.

Is there a better way or what?
