[TowerTalk] HDX-589 rotor and coax arms and why I re-subscribed after many year hiatus

[Grant Saviers]

I needed coax arms for my HDX-589, gave the measurements to KF7P for the 
offsets and he made two sets for my that work perfectly - the coax hangs 
straight in the rings from the top 90 degree bend hanger.  I recommend 
his stuff.

The figure 8 "flaking" of the lines is the way to go, and learned that 
handling heavy anchor rodes.
