hi chris,
 if you have the motor i would go for a set of Jerry blades. Jerry is a regular on here and i can recommend his blades. i used to have a set up with a ametec motor. worked fine. one thing you need to think about is transmitted noise from the turbine. if you are in a 30 mph wind it will drive you nuts after a while. if you can rig it up away from the trailer it would be much better. you could try damping the pole mounts somehow but i have never had much luck doing that.

cheers
bob golding
