Hello . I decided to import a set of these glasfibre filled nylon ,injected blades as the blades (pvc pipe) I had up were destroyed in the recent hailstorm. These are 4 feet long ,quite smooth, fairly rigid ,feel very strong and from what I can see may make a good set for the F&P. I'm going to set them up with a modified rotor having replaced the ceramics with Neo's. - the plastic pipe blades gave me inexcess of 700 watts - I think these will give even better results.

Hi Glenn, They were 215 Aus dollars landed here by ordinary post, 8 weeks. I fine sanded and filled some injection holes in them and have given them a coat of "solarguard". light,strong,narrow-100mm at the root.50mm at the tip. Building a hub for them. Bruce Bushboy |
