Windvane and anemometer placement question
« on: May 11, 2007, 05:50:04 PM »
I'm trying to determine the best place to mount my anemometer and wind vane for my generate such that the propwash wont effect it.


Is there a standard position they should be placed? how far above or below the prop.

I'm thinking anywhere thats ahead of the prop a few feet should be ok?


Thanks


Jamie

 On my Genny the meter is 6 inches below the

tip of the blades , seams to work fine.
