Hello dalibor,
At present it is 1 foot. My previous blades were 18' and of Poplar, these are 16' and are of Ash. My previous blades were at 1 foot also but the blade striking the tower was caused by my own decision to push beyond the limits of it's design in severe winds. The plan worked perfect, the furling was not set properly, the blades over powered the alternator and went into overspeed. In winds of 50-60+ MPH one quick gust to yaw at over 350 RPM and smack, it was over. Plenty of modifications this time to control the speed and better match the blades to the alternator. Dave B.
