Yes I get a lot of speed, a red white and blue blur at 10 to 15 mph winds. I am going to try to get an rpm meter in the next week or two to check the speed.

Last night we had 25 mph winds when a storm blew in and the blades were moving strong, I placed a welding rod out from the test stand post to the blades and did not see a lot of flex in the blades.

I wished I had it finished to see what it would have put out. I hope to have my rotors done this week so I can put a load on the machine to see what it will be with a load. I have a lot still to do to get it running, the 107 deg temps we are having here is slowing me down.
