Hi Marco, If you are looking to lash something together (instead of going with a purpose-built Elevation rotor), I and others have had success with Television-type rotors that have a through-hole for the mast. Mounted on their side, they seem to perform very well. Just keep things balanced, and protected from the weather and they should be happy.
See: http://home.wavecable.com/~ko6th/ I used an Alliance U-110. It has performed flawlessly for about 10 years now.
