I have a HyGain Tailtwister rotor mounted inside seven sections of Rohn 45. I plan on placing a 10 foot mast into the rotor (2" O.D.
galvanized steel pipe), through a heavy duty thrust bearing, and on the mast, a HyGain TH-11 (not exactly a featherweight itself).
My question is: How much weight will the Tailtwister rotor handle?
Is potentially this too much weight? I have been told that the HyGain rotors will handle up to 1000 lbs of weight. While I'm not
close tot hat weight, this is a heavy amount. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dave, W8QW
