It's up.  I live near a wind farm, so I get good wind.  Tonight since the mill is up, 0 no wind.  Oh well.  Waiting on wind

vawtwindy:
marvellous nekit.

I'm still playing with the MPPT table.  I have an initial one, but I think it will take lots of tweaking to get it right.  I'll post it when I feel it's working well.

I have it set to furl pretty early.  Had some winds today and it was furling at about 20mph.  I can change the tail angle or add lead shot to the ends of the tail.  The last 12" of both of the tail tubes are removable and have screw in caps to add lead shot.  I think I'm going to try the lead first.

I still have to finish up the dump load cells, so I've been shutting it down if it gets too windy.

Thanks for all the compliments.
