Rich. My 22 foot duelrotor has had the taper roller bearings in it now for over a year. The turbine weighs in at over 500 lbs and has never had a problem, and I dont expect one. Photo below is had to see, but has a bearing at the top, and another one at about 16 inches down. The only thing is that it turns so freely that the turbine will yaw back and forth with turbulance which i wasnt too fond of, so I installed a spring loaded pin with a hole flange to hold it into the wind. the pin is operated with a 1/8" cable from the bottom of the tower. Those of you having trouble with furling may want to try this, cause it will not let the turbine yaw while furling. A picture of this is also below.
