CD45 installation
 

I sent this question to Hy Gain, but I thought I'd present it to the
conglomerate of experts here...

The Hy Gain CD45 rotor (rotator, whatever) is rated for 5 sq ft wing
loading if it's mounted on a mast.

The question is, how long can the antenna mast be?

I just got an MQ26 "mini quad", which has a rated wind loading of 1.6 sq ft,
and I need the mast between the antenna and the rotor to be about 6-7 feet.

Is this gonna work?

Yaesu puts a chart in their G1000 manual that spells this out. Don't
remember the exact numbers, but with the antenna 8 feet above the rotator I
think you were limited to something like 1/10 the normal specification. I
wouldn't go more than a foot above the rotator.
