Obviously you can't load the rotor as much as if it mounted "right". You will
have a locking spring washer taking the load. The is not any real raceways in
the RS-rotor, just a few slide/glide bearings. Also, keep in mind that the
rotor will rotate in the "wrong" direction. If you line it up correctly with
north, you will have the rotor "looking" east when the dial indicate west. That
can, though, be corrected if you cross two of the wires to the rotor (I don't
know for sure which once).

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Fwd: Upside down rotor
Thank you Hans. Yours is the first response. I had just about decided
that I had finally stumped the Tower Talk reflector. I guess my concern
was whether or not the races that the bearings were sandwiched between
were tight enough for the downward force.
