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.

Nice looking blades Bruce.

Could I ask how much they were?

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.
