Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi Hugh.

I cant make any recomendations on commercial blades, but if you decide to make your own, visit Hugh Piggots web site ( On the Links page ), he has detailed instructions on blade making. Going for something about 2.2 to 2.4 meters diameter should work best.

I live in Alberta and did this place have more fp hubs. Which one did they have. They are really rare in Canada.
