I recognize most of your aliases, and I would like to thank you all for getting me this far, as it is tribute to your experiences that got me here.

Mitcamp, I was daring with some of these mods, like the adjustable spindle assembly.  But it has proven stable for the seven days in flight, as well as the Big Bang! (the adjustment stayed on mark).  Also, I was furling late, and this adjustment allowed me to fine-tune by moving a little farther from the Yaw.

Richhagen, I am hopefulof the blade that exploded absorbed the energy of the fall.  Also, the turf here is very spongy because of the forest-floor.

DanB, thank you especially, as your earlier projects are what got me inspired, and interested in RE and wind power.  I also worry about my torsion system.  However, I am hoping the experiment will show that the change in wind direction over time will mostly correct itself by giving an opposing turn or two, given enough slack power-cable and time.  If I am wrong, the wire-cables and collar are easily removed and the system will run as most do.  Thanks, again!

Montana, hmmm, a solar-power beacon-light... thanks :)

Cdog,  I am also surprised to see all my neighbors here (thought I was alone).  The best advise I can give on blade carving is 'do not start until you can understand the reasons and effects of the dynamics'. eg. the "cord" is the strength of the blade, summing up, and transferring all of the turning forces to the root/hub, hence the constant increase in cord material as you move from the "tip" to the "root".  Like most, it took me a very long time to get my 'minds-eye' to see the air-foil and fluted curve of turbine blades, and the reason for it.  Good luck with your project!

Flux, you gave me more insight and knowledge of three-phase and associated principles... your the man!  Thank you as well.  There is actually one 60Amp series diode between each bridge 'positive output' and the battery bank to prevent back-flow current to the alternator in the case of a shorted bridge.

Frank06, some of the Gang may not be aware of Point Lepreau being a Nuclear-Power generating site, and presently being fitted with a 2nd reactor "Lepreau-II".  My wife is just putting the finishing touches on our new signage, to be erected after the governments big-sign is up.  My wife's will read "Lepreau-III Power-Generating Site" ;)
