Just Kidding!...Actually this is my first homebuilt..I put it outside today, Wired for 48 volt, 140 turns of #17 wired Star. I set it up in a ten mile an hour wind, it took off like a rocket,(or so I thought). I used the knife switch, shut it down. got battery , meter etc ready and wind instantly went down..So hopefullt tomorrow get some statistics.I used a yeild sign for tail, I think thats a mistake as it seems small, Volvo spindle, 11 1/4 inch rotors 2x1x1/2 magnets. Spruce blades,they were amazing I mounted them today first time and proceeded to balance them only to find they needed no balancing whatsoever! We messed around with them for awhile ,tracking was dead on and so was balance.Got Lucky I guess. This machine will be on display in a couple places in town before going on a tower in April or May, that is why we decided to paint it up a bit. I would like to thank Dan B for answering all my emails and everyone on here who answered questions, I found this to be the most rewarding project I've ever done!I'm hooked now.
