The cone is supposed to redirect the air at the hub so it goes through the blades faster. So the wind speed at the inside position of the prop would be faster than at any other point on the prop. It seems that the hub position of the prop would need to be designed for that extra wind speed.

Another thing that I'm thinking is that you really don't need a cone, the wind will naturally redirect itself around the hub and through the blades.

Still looks great there Dave B !
