    question for those with towers/bearing/rotor

Even after just one vertical re:re it's getting to be a pain w/o some form of a gin pole :) That, and i'll have to retrofit a plate for the rotor as the original "rotor plate" will used for the...

    question for those with towers/bearing/rotor

    hey all.. wondering if it's a good idea to attach a ground strap from the mast to the tower to help dissipate static electricity? i'm assuming the bearing might contain some form of grease, as well as the rotor maybe also restricting the grounding effects in one way or another.....would it hurt...
