Hallo Rolf,

Welkom. Nog een Hollander hier...

I'm afraid I won't be able to help you much with your blades; I have seen them mentioned often enough though, I believe they're used on the AIR403, AIR-X and Whisper turbines, and I know they're for sale and sometimes used by DIY-ers. Most opt to carve their own blades out of wood though.

Our host, Glenn, has used them (or something that very much looks like them) on at least one occasion: http://www.thebackshed.com/windmill/Servo-windmill.asp

Did you manage to find that F&P motor here in The Netherlands ? Did you find it in a discarded washing machine or buy it ? I have looked around a bit for one over here but couldn't find one. I'd love to play around a little with a F&P too.

Peter (ook uit Nederland dus).
