[TowerTalk] Rotor faialure

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

Yep, and it's 2 inches taller. There's not a lot of maneuvering room on the tower, it has to go in thru a Z brace. I'll have to do some measurements. Plus it requires a new hole for the mast pin bolt. 

All a lot easier before the antennas are mounted.....
