blueyonder:
You have done a nice job in both design and workmanship. You have given the stator lots of room for air cooling.
I tend to agree with tecker and flux concerning the strenght of the stator mounts.
Check out the Dan's 17 ft. designs old and new on this forum. Reinforced stator mounts on the new design.
I have reinforced my stator mounts to try to strengthen rotational torque. Hope these pics help.
