[TowerTalk] Long rotor run

[Cqtestk4xs at aol.com]

Two ways to go...
Put the starting cap at the rotor , or put the starting cap at the  
junction box below.  I simply removed the cap from the control box and  mounted it 
at the base of the tower...worked fine.

I'm  using a tail twister rotor 350 ft form the control box turning a 
2 el  quad, This problem reoccurs each winner when the wind blows 
..Well in fact  any time the wind blows .. With the wind 20 mph or 
more the rotor stalls ,  I did use # 14 wire on the motor leads and I 
have a junction box at the  base of the tower were I change to regular 
rotor cable going up the tower  .

Heres my Question, can I put a Start or Run Capacitor in my junction  
box and still leave the capacitor in the control box ? would this  
help?  Another  thought was , could I replace the transformer in  the 
control box to a little higher voltage ?

Thanks Ed
