Test lift with the rotor and 12" aluminum mast in place went well. I still need to align the lower rotor mount and upper thrust bearing mounts. Looks like it's time to start assembling the M104C. And I just realized I have not yet ordered the coax I need for the second antenna and also the jumper cables for the Palomar Maxi-Choker for each antenna. And I need to decide where to put the other two guy wire anchors on the roof (the third wire goes to the post I installed a few months ago). I need to do additional research to refresh my brain on how best to do this to have it a) strong and b) waterproof. Right now I have the guy wire ring on the mast halfway up the top section. I may move it higher depending on how it all shakes out.

My wife is very glad the base mount stuff is all on side of the house not visible from the road. I'm a bit doubtful she knows what the M104C actually looks like. I think they are beautiful but, well, we'll see. When I was a kid I dreamed of having a Super Laser 500 (8 horizontal, 8 vertical) so the M104C is just a pipsqueak!

[QUOTE="TimmyTheTorch, post: 819444, member: 64271"] Test lift with the rotor and 12" aluminum mast in place went well. I still need to align the lower rotor mount and upper thrust bearing mounts. Looks like it's time to start assembling the M104C. And I just realized I have not yet ordered the coax I need for the second antenna and also the jumper cables for the Palomar Maxi-Choker for each antenna. And I need to decide where to put the other two guy wire anchors on the roof (the third wire goes to the post I installed a few months ago). I need to do additional research to refresh my brain on how best to do this to have it a) strong and b) waterproof. Right now I have the guy wire ring on the mast halfway up the top section. I may move it higher depending on how it all shakes out. My wife is very glad the base mount stuff is all on side of the house not visible from the road. I'm a bit doubtful she knows what the M104C actually looks like. I think they are beautiful but, well, we'll see.
