WOW!! What a great job. I'm currently in the middle of a 10 footer myself and am surprised at how many people on here are from N.B. I'm from Grand Manan myself.
Just curious of what kind of a challenge you found at building the blades as this is the one part that I really am not looking forward too. The steel part for myself is what I have enjoyed the most as I work in a metal shop. I have also wondered about simply painting the mag rotors, and when I machined my rotors I left a lip about 3/16ths around the outside hoping it would keep the mags from wanting out?
Anyway, great post and it would be great to hear of some output figures if possible?

Cdog.

Great work and presentation. Hope you soon get it back in the air again.

Just one question, why the redundant series diode after the bridge, it is not needed.

I have to agree with DanB that restricting the rotation is going to be a long term nightmare.

Otherwise you seem to have a splendid setup, hope you are soon back up and flying.
