Considering what you posted here, I think most readers would expect to
see construction details and photos of your project. Instead the only
details are that you wasted money before finding plans you liked, and
the only photos are thumbnails that link to a $20 download of those
very plans. Thanks for wasting my time, it won't happen again. But
here's some good advice - ads for crummy turbines tend to either leave
out rotor diameter, or claim inflated output for a small diameter. So
if you intend to hawk turbine plans, start by giving the rotor
diameter.
Meanwhile regular readers here know that good plans with tons of step
by step photos are available for free at
http://otherpower.com/otherpower_wind.html.

Oddly, the pictures in the tumbnails don't match the pictures of the
turbine that was constructed. Looks like they were swiped from some
other website.

And let's not forget Hugh Piggott's Homepage where the plans are
available for free.
