Glad to hear that it didn't disintegrate. What do you estimate the runaway RPM was? I'm just curious. I have seen my 10 foot diameter blade go well over 600 RPM, fully furled, and it never gives me any problems.

My best guess is around 900 rpm.

Can you remind us what size pipe or tubing your tower and tower stubb were made of so no one makes it smaller? Did it bend above the stubb or below?
