Sorry, After checking it show's that rotor is No Longer Available.
For the Lightning 8 you Will need a Large Rotor.
If you try and use a small rotor like that with the 8 you would be lucky if it lasted a day or more with NO WIND.

Could you give me a link to a website that has a rotor that could hold the Lightning? |

try a yeasue 800 series rotor they are not super expensive and they are plenty enuff for that 40 foot antenna.
if you use bearings at the top and just before the rotor, and a torque tube in between you wont need to use a big block chevy (lol)to turn and hold a 8 element 11 meter beam. |
