Dan,
  I don't know what others think but I would open the air gap. It will raise the cut in RPM if you still want 48 Volts and with the right adjustment take you out of stall. Yes, you can duplicate what has been done before but you may also be able to be very happy with what you have with some adjusting. Your location, your blades, your load, your controller, your furling etc. etc. is unique to your build and location.

 Blades can change everything. To have the same performance as what the Dan's have done you would need to duplicate everything exact. It's possible you could have a very respectable set up of your own as is with adjustment. Maybe not the opinion of others here or even the best way to go but I have worked the variables for quite some time to tweak my own system which is unique also (direct heating). You can always wind another stator. Just my thoughts,  Dave B.
