Dan,
Thanks for sharing your bit of excitement. I've been there and had the crash besides (over powered alternator and late furling) Murphy's law in action with the electrical shorting switch as a brake, it's only good if there is no open from the switch through the coils AND your alternator is powerful enough to hold back the blades. Score one for the mechanical brake, I have one and will never put a machine up without one. Thanks for the story, I hope Murphy doesn't strike a second time with your 20' machine. Dave B.
