[NSRCA-discussion] Interesting Wind Farms

[Nat Penton]

I guess the thing that was facinating to me was hauling these things cross country. I would hate to pay the freight. This was an entire UP train.

  A drive back to Dallas from the Lubbock contest will give you a grand view of hundreds of wind generators atop the bluffs.  Notin out there but prairie dogs, oil wells and wind and now wind generators.    Always a blast flying in the wind conditions at Ed Devers contests.

      Oak Ridge Tennessee has a farm of the wind generators perched on the mountain tops. They can be seen from the Knoxville RC flying field. Both the generators and Knoxville field are spectacular.

        What will hurt the price of oil is changing the bushman to anyone new. Can hardly wait

        The wind farms are pretty cool to see....I've witnessed a couple in NORCA.

        I have never scene a modern wind turbine before, but today a train load came thru ( South Louisiana ) - blades, hubs, housings ?? The blades were singly loaded, LE down, and occupied approx 1 1/2 flatcars in length, 100ft ?

        They may be headed to the Gulf. Sure hope it doesen't hurt the price of oil, LOL.
