Thanks Wes, that's a great description of controlling horizontal shaft
'mills. The current design is vertical shaft though, so alas the method
can't be used.


IIRC, the tail on a vertical shaft windmill is set off axis to blade spindle
to turn the disk out of the wind. I meant to take a look at my uncles
windmill today but I totally forgot it. I'll try to remember to bring a
camera with me to take a picture of his mill tomorrow.
