[TowerTalk] Fwd: Fwd: Upside down rotor

[hanslg at aol.com]

 Obviously you can't load the rotor as much as if it mounted "right". You will have a locking spring washer taking the load. The is not any real raceways in the RS-rotor, just a few slide/glide bearings. Also, keep in mind that the rotor will rotate in the "wrong" direction. If you line it up correctly with north, you will have the rotor "looking" east when the dial indicate west. That can, though, be corrected if you cross two of the wires to the rotor (I don't know for sure which once).

Thank you Hans. Yours is the first response. I had just about decided 

that I had finally stumped the Tower Talk reflector. I guess my concern 

was whether or not the races that the bearings were sandwiched between 

were tight enough for the downward force.
