Very good thread. Wish there were some more specific discussion of how the rotator affects all of it though.
like- in high wind you depower by allowing less rotation - is this because of the air flow get disrupted or does it allow the top of the mast to bend off more in gusts? (you could say that it bends off more with it completely rotated because the downhaul/spreaders/prebend are bending the mast more that way). it is rocket science i tell ya
