I wonder if there might be a case for a major design approach change for rotators.

I have an HDX-5106 tower where the top section is only 15
inches wide.  Only the small prop pitch, and the Orion rotator, and
the upcoming DXE rotator, will fit into my tower, while
having even a prayer of turning my MonstIR.  Smaller rotors that
will fit into Rohn 25 don't have the power.  There are larger
really heavy duty rotators that don't fit my tower, while also
allowing it to crank down.  They all have the motor sticking out
which only works for a fixed tower.

Does your paradigm fit into towers like mine?
