[TowerTalk] Rotor Loop

[Gene Fuller]

Hi Glen -

I just set it up so the bottom end was secured to the top of the tower with 
the bundle leading towards the mast and the top end fastened to about the 
center of the boom or just below the boom on the mast.  I set it up with 
about four moderately tight turns and then rotate back two turns and 
consider that as the "center of rotation" leaving me free to go at least a 
half or three quarters of revolution in either direction. Another thing to 
watch out for is that when "unwound" a couple of turns there is nothing on 
the top of the tower that the loop will catch on when it tightens up.

73's and good luck with it. It should work fine.

Gene / W2LU
