I had one and I had a very bad experience with it. When the mast slips
in the rotor but not in the Slipp-Nott sleeve, the resulting forces are
transmitted through the Slipp-Nott brackets to the rotor U-bolts. In my
case, this caused the U-bolts to fail, leaving the antenna totally free
to rotate in the wind. The Slipp-Nott brackets were totally mangled. On
first glance the Slipp-Nott seems to be a good idea, but when you
analyze what is going on it is a bad design IMHO.
