Other than the butt-weld which has been commented on and lack of bracing on it it looks good. If you can get enough speed for charging with the Ametek with 6 blades you will be one of the few.
With as much investment as you will have in tower it will be beneficial for you to think of a bit more 'mill'. A 'DanBuilt' style axial or a motor conversion will proove to be less trouble and put out more energy than the Ametek.

yeah I might want to change out the blades to a larger 3 blade configuration , Was looking for more tork.

I see your point, maybe I can start winding some coils this winter if time permits however I already have the tower x 2 so the investment is minimal..

Once the tower is up I'll fly this one for awhile then probably change over to a better, more robust design like the danbuilt.. "Everybody's got to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer." --W. C. Fields [ Parent ]
