Abstract:
A method and a lifting arrangement for mounting a blade on a wind turbine rotor carried by a wind turbine structure. The method comprises providing a control line guide at the wind turbine structure, the control line guide forming a control line point configured to restrain the control line attaching the control line to the control line point; lifting the blade with an external blade lifting crane while a root end of the blade is guided towards the rotor by use of said control line restrained at said control line point, and connecting said blade to said rotor.
