Hi willib, yep a great site for a turbine. More images from/near the site can be found at

I think its more of a case of whats that NOT on the tip of the left blade... What you see is the damage caused be the tip hitting either the tower or one of the guy wires. It shouldn't be too much drama to repair both of the blades. I have been wanting to try shortening the blades on this model turbine to increase the RPM and try and get more out of the small alt it has (coupled with my prototype MPPT controller!)
