The antenna-thermo and antenna-solar bearings mentioned by @Majorjim! and I above are very lightweight and have virtually zero friction.

Or are you looking for other bearings that keep the rotor as part of the ship?

Not needed to keep them attached. I plan on trying out the antenna bearings later today.

As discovered by a few others, using the small round RCS blocks instead of the antennas works better for high stress applications such as powered props. Give that a go.
