Hi Ron,

I have two of these both ham 4 rotors.

They are just fine.  They have a direction indicator which you turn to the 
direction, hit the start and a tone sounds as the rotor tunrs.  Once it has 
reached the desired direction it stops and locks the rotor again.

No you cannot take a regular ham 4 and put it into place with the control 
box.  The rotor has a couple of parts different in it so it will work with 
the control box.  If you need more contact me off list.
