Dan,
It's me Phil from the workshop on this project.
Tell George not to cut the welds off I made..lol

also Let George know that I warned him about drinking beer while installing the blades. (forgot to tighten them, or was that me).....

I had a blast at your workshop, Learned a lot of things about building wind turbines. And how to make plasma with a microwave..lol

I hope to come buy your place sometime to visit all of you guys again, if you have a work shop at your place again, I would love to help out with it.  

The tail raising up is strange, it would have to lift up at least 2" to get past
the other side of the yaw tube. Must have had a lot of gusty winds slamming the tail around.

As far as the loose blades go, That was George that did that...lol

"Friends Don't let friends drink while building wind turbines"
