My dear departed friend, Terry Panknin, had some of the three sections required to build one at his shop some years back. He told me they come in something like 90', 110', and 100' sections and put together in that order making the tower itself right at 300' tall!

Then, when you add the length of a blade at the twelve o'clock position, the whole rig stands at approximately 400'! To give you an idea of just how large these blades are, the next image shows one being transported.
