February 28, 2009. Nacelle Landed.

Tower section 3 was landed today. On the first try at nacelle installation, a tag line broke and the nacelle had to be brought back down to have a new line installed. The second try went flawlessly. Unfortunately, we took too much time and were not able to get to the hub and blade assembly done. The plan is to reposition the crane for the blade lift. This will take place from 6AM to 9AM on Sunday Feb 29. The crane has to be lowered onto its wheels, repositioned and then re-hoisted on its pads. After the crane is repositioned, we will wait for a good wind window of 45 mintutes to lft the hub and blades into place.
