[amsat-bb] Aluma Tower and Yaesu G5400 Azimuth Rotor

[Joe Leikhim]

Hi;
I am in the market for an Aluma Tower T-40H, I found one which needs a 
few parts and DLC, (anyone else selling similar in Florida, speak up). 
My question is the installation of the G5400 azimuth rotor. I didn't 
have the tower and rotor in same place at same time, so I made up a 7 
1/2" diameter template simulating the bolt hole placement and outer 
"corners" of the bolt bosses on the rotor bell. It seems that it "might 
just fit" with about 1/16 inch uncertainty. Has anyone else installed 
this rotor inside of an Aluma Tower T-40H? Some say it interferes with 
fully retracting with some rotors. Experience good or bad, please share.

Thanks
