I guess they expect the hubs to bend.?.

Wind turbine

I wonder how they bent it, in the first place?

Just picture this hub with 4" off the OD. Not much metal in the center area at all..



It's hard to estimate, but it seems like there is about 1/2" of steel between
the mounting hole and the 'air vent' holes.

I think this hub would be a LOT harder to bend, if those air-holes were gone.
