Step 14Assembly
Before you get too trigger happy, assemble the turbine on the ground once more before you raise it. Check to see if the tail will run into the blades, if the blades are too close to the tower, if the rotor and blades are balanced and anything else that might not look quite right.
I assembled the whole turbine in the garage and made sure my tail wouldn't hit the blades by adding two 3 inch bolts that will stop the tail if it whips around. This has not been a problem, though, since most of the tail movement is very slow and gentle, but you never know when you'll get a tremendous gust of wind.
Make sure the top of the wire is water proof and the electrical connections are solid.
