I used this method on the HDBX48 and its been up for over 30 years.... funny thing is I've never had to work on the rotor (Tailtwister). I use a thrust bearing to keep the pipe weight off the rotor bearing although I'm sure they would handle the weight. I used allen screws to set the couplings. Abt 12sqft of antenna on the mast. I ran a ground strap from the mast coupling, just above the rotor, to ground.

I love the pipe mast and cable suspension.
