I have a couple of pieces of 4" diameter by 1/4 inch thick aluminum electrical conduit from an industrial site. I don't have enough to make a set of blades but some of you may have access to this stuff. I like the idea of fiber glassing over a form. If you look at the Air 403 blades there isn't much material so it should be hard. Trouble is I hate working with the stuff!
I think I'm going to try sheets of veneer backing criss-crossed on top of the PVC. It comes out like aircraft plywood, thin and strong. You can use poplar which is usually used for banding on burls in veneering. It's cheap and you can run a strip of aluminum HVAC tape over the leading edge.
Just some thoughts.
