[amsat-bb] G5500 Rotor mounting

[Randy]

Question.. Rotor is on order along with the FT-897D
I know I should mount the rotor in a tower with a thrust plate
I think its called.  But don't have one .
I only have a 2 meter and 440mhz yagi to mount ooon it .. 
Will that be a problem .. Or is it mostly when its loaded
Up to near the max? or one of those faster wear and tear
Things no matter what?
