I discovered my received unit to be unstable, it wobbled at the top in circle 2 feet in diameter in moderate wind speeds. OK at higher speeds. The wobble was so great at moderate speeds I feared it would tear apart the welds that anchor the base. So I removed the airfoils and am still awaiting (year and a half) for a promised replacement unit. Some changes in fabrication are apparently underway. So I am waiting.... Hoping! 2009, after waiting a year. I discovered my received unit to be unstable, it wobbled at the top in circle 2 feet in diameter in moderate wind speeds. OK at higher speeds.
