Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Looking good, I think you will need to plate the inside of the blades where the nuts of the bolts are or the blades will get ripped off the stator.

Many underestimate the power of the wind and the loadings applied to the mill.
