[TowerTalk] SteppIR recommended rotor

[Paul Braiman]

Using an Orion 2800 here for 2+ years now with my DB-18 w/6m option. Mounted on a Tashjian LM-354 HD. So far so good. When I tilted the tower over for inspection, all was tight. No evidence of anything unusual. I'll try to remember to report back in spring when I do it again.
