Hi All

I have been reading the posts in this forum and have decided to jump in and build my first wind generator. I will be purchasing the F&P and mounting weldment from randysworkshop.com

I have read a lot of posts here about the F&P so not to reinvent the wheel and to make sure I get the most out of my generator I have a few questions.

1) What wiring configuration should I use star, delta ? My average wind speed is 12-15 mph with recorded gusts to 50 mph.

2) What blades work best on the F&P for my wind speed ? Two that I found are the Windmax and Windy Nation WindGrabber blades.

3) How many watts will I see from the F&P at say 10,15,20,25 mph winds ?

I can't wait to get started.

Thanks in advance

George
