Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
Thanks Fintray, only just spotted your reply. It would appear my estimate on size was out somewhat, but maybe not surprising given the wingbeat and dusk condiitons. What has amazed me about their stat's is weight, a mere 3-8 grams or approx three to the ounce for the heaviest!Fintray wrote: ↑Fri Sep 08, 2023 5:15 pm Pipistrelle possibly.

That is a nice thing to see, Cheers, I had a round trip to Mid Hampshire yesterday, left at 03:45 and returned at 20:15, so I woke feeling a bit jaded but that has made me

Glad to hear it! Even better, this.
'Team Ripple are back up at Kirk Hill today and all this week. It's all going really well. The weather has been glorious which means we're making good timings and lots of progress. T1 is up and the big crane is moving to T2 tomorrow. We have lots of exciting footage to share, please bear with us a little while longer whilst we get it all approved.'

I recall we had a lot of fun following every piece being lifted in near real time with GF and it was nerve racking.
This one is, eh, oh its up.
If more recent members (and lurkers) want to see the build of the Graig Fatha wind turbine as it unfolded on the forum over 11 days back in 2021, go back to messages 302 to 373.
Link below to the start of the GF build.

Definition and expectation of 'up' may need to be reassessed.Joeboy wrote: ↑Thu Sep 14, 2023 8:41 amGlad to hear it! Even better, this.
