Cool job. Thanks for sharing the pictures and giving so much information. You answered a lot of questions I didn't have to ask.

I got vertigo just looking at the pictures... ;)

I never used to be like that and then with the birth of my first, my son, BANG - scared to death of heights.

Anyone doing that is one brave soul in my book ...

I don't know if it's bravery or stupidity,,, I think there's a fine line between the two!! Ha! Ha! Ha!

How about an exterior Propellor wheel hub mounted to the back of the propellers ?


Get in a harness then ...You pull tight on a slipping cable that hoists you to the top an access door ...with the rest of the cable motated by the turning wind propellor.

True story ~ A guy tied his tool bag, using a very long rope, to the drive shaft of the turbine up in the nacelle and turned the turbine on,,, When the drive shaft started to turn, his foot got caught up in the rope. He got wound up in the shaft,,, I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time!!

My system would be safer.

But I think mine would be funner.

And you could also take the jetpack outside for one hell of a ride during breaks. :-missingt
