Is there any easy way to figure out what weight a tail should be? I was looking for one that used the angle of the tail mount + the offset angle from the motor + diameter of blades + length of the tail to give you the weight of the tail.
Tom, I do have all these calculations done in graph form. If you give me your e-mail, I can e-mail them to you. Also, take a look at this link. The equations on the bottom the link page are exactly what you are asking for and might be enough for you: http://www.thebackshed.com/windmill/Docs/Furling.asp
