Doug Selsam's Super Twin at Wulf Field
March 27, 2008
The SuperTwin was running unattended during several days of very high winds. Power was exceeding the limits of the instruments. This will require some modifications of the instrumentation and diversion loads.

Nancy and I raised Doug Selsam's Super Twin on a calm day and it's ready to go.

Doug Selsam braved a particularly windy day (30-40 mph with gusts to 50 mph) to mount his Super Twin on one of the test towers at Wulf Field. Installation under such conditions is never easy.
We didn't raise the tower because of the high winds.
