[TowerTalk] Rotor options besides a Prop Pitch?

[Dick Williams]

I have been using the Orion R-2800 for years to turn a Force 12 Mag
620/340N.  Boom is 47', weight 230 lbs, and 18.5 sq ft of wind load.

Max wind I have registered at 40 ft is 74 mph.  Probably a tad bit stronger
at the top of the tower (120').
