about 75 MPH is all it took. Brake burned out, Partial braking or something created out of balance and general havoc. Then- whoomp!

    yeah, that is how it is for a lot of folks. It takes strong winds to get real power, but I have pegged my 50 Amp meter a few times and see (or used to) 10-30 amps pretty regularly, but that is over 20 knots. under 15 and it is a meager harvest no matter how the graph looks. I have good wind here, which use to extend my power tool working time (or whatever) into the night a fair number of days of the year. I promise to bring it to the top of the list and get it fixed one of these days. :) .

    i have never heard of anybody getting any power out of air 403s or air x. alot of people have told me they also have had brake problems.

    Good gawd! Glad you were not in the way of those blades! Furl If this were a side instead of in May rupture could still have those blades intact. Those 403 sound like a dying cow in those winds, you can probably sleep :-)

    Ouch! Makes me wonder how good carbon fiber blades are.
    Yet, I would hate to see a metal blade break loose.
    Good luck getting everything fixed!

    Funny Have AM. No great loss. And ' data only approximately 5% or less of my charge photovoltaic ago the all job. I in realtà lost two blades. To come down it to I and to correct, if possible. The thing played a po ' " OFF" and recently the brake did not work for some reason. When I have had l' extinguished switch, ran as it was a cargo, reving in on, but not free the spinning, but not giving amplifiers to the batteries. ? Perhaps interrupting breakdown. Sì these are some were squalls that they have today! Hope to hold with yours blots some.

    Wow. . Sorry about that wind generator! It feels like a Florida Hurricane wind here. I’m glad you did not get stabbed. They probably would have arrested ME! HaHa????
