Wind exceeded design specs.

We had our own spectacular windy turbine a couple of years ago.

I hope those blades that detached weren't made by Betonov.

The blades are too short to be mine

Herr-Berbunch · 11-13-13, 07:16 PM

Well they're certainly shorter now.

I hope what we designed last year won't break apart. Those blades are 3 times longer.
