I have had a FT34XA mounted on a TIC ring rotor for 20 years with
no problems.  Mounted on the boom guy strut parallel to the boom
is a WARC band dipole (Cushcraft).

I put extra weight inside the boom on the light end to weight balance it.
I added a flat plate of aluminum on the short side of the boom so that
both sides of the boom have the same projected surface area.
