WARNING! These are OLD and outdated specs. As with all older
crank-ups, they were rated at 50 MPH. The minimum windspeed these days is 70
MPH, at
which point I think the capacity of the HG tower reaches somewhere around
zero.
Please be careful and conservative if you're using one of these,
including the old Tri-Ex's, etc.
