Well, kids, I got it all back together and up in the air. Got blades from Chris Olson and at a very good price. A shade over $200 for a 12 foot set of 3 in fir. Don't quote me on the price I think he cut me a deal. We have been trading stuff for a few months off and on and this time it happens to be a check from me. Hopefully it won't ricochet when it hits my bank.
Took 4 days to get a calm to balance the unit on the tower stub. <<Mr. Murphy.
I did that this AM and got it pulled up and in place by 8 AM. Caught a break on weather it has been blistering hot the past few days and windy. I just fade too fast to get anything done when it is much above 80F and if the humidity is ugly it is even worse.
I need to catch up on my energy then I will snag some photos for you kids and probably post a new thread on it.
To those who offered $$ help, it turns out I could afford it without any true hardship but I appreciate the offers of help. Just have to put off my next firearm purchase awhile.
Anyway, it has spun up already kicking out a couple hundred watts. Which means I may have beat Mister Murphy on rule #1 of installing a turbine.
Just a quick update.
