LMR-400 rotor loops work great here.  Maybe our definition of "rotor loop"
is different, though.  My rotor loops are horizontal and wound around the
mast at the top thrust bearing, laying on the top plate of the tower.  It
operates like a spring that increases/decreases a maximum half-turn each
way.  Very little flex or strain and the LMR-400 is stiff enough to stay in
place well.
