Simple solution to wire resistance for rotors.  Run a 14-2  housewire in 
parallel to the rotor cable for the power leads.  Since the  rotor voltage is 
only 25-30 V it's no big deal.  It's cheap and I have used  it for years on 
all my rotors.  Interior wire will last a good ten years in  the FL sun.  
The UV outdoor is more expensive but will last  forever.
