- It seems to me that the kind that uses a bicycle chain might be the easiest to modify... (Of course, I was the guy who thought the 2el cushcraft 40 boom supports cou go under the boom.!) Chuck, KE5FI

- Why would "110V on a tower" be a no no????? Wilson rotors have a 110V motor, all TelRex rotors have a 110V motor (likely more if overseas), I think the old EF Johnson rotor (1940-50 era) had a 110V m
