Hey y'all - it's been awhile, lot's going on here. We got the pipe to use for the split collars, like the picture wooferhound had posted on our tower construction post, and we got a bunch of 3/8" wire rope to use for the tower. Problem being, our welder is tied up on a big order at work and he's putting in 14 hour days with no end in sight. I'm off work caring for Mom for awhile, bought some calves, waiting for them to be delivered, money has been wiped out. We did fing a place to buy the screw in anchors though.... With new animals we are at our max until we can get this well up and running reliably.
We've been playing with a furling mount to keep busy, and to keep learning and trying to understand. There is much that is absorbed from "doing" and learning as we go. Wishing we had started with a 10' mill - 20/20 hindsight and all that....
This furling mount has a 6" diameter motor, 5" offset from yaw axis, 18 degree tail pivot mount, 5 degree tilt on the motor, 5' diameter blades, still need to figure tail size, tail length and weight, and if any of it works...
Thanks again everyone.
Pauline
