Good afternoon!

After reading your comments, I am assuming that you want to go into production with these blades. Do you have any speculative prices for a set? I would be very interested! How do you intend to fix these blades to a gen-head?

PS. Great job, these look awesome!

The first few will actually have a wood root, a 4x4 or so, 1/2 of it will be turned turned down on a lathe to fit inside the root, while the other half will be left flat, so they should be able to mount in the standard home brew style hubs. Eventually we will have a regular flanged, all composite root, but that requires us to finish designing and building a hub to match(these will be variable pitch hub/rotor sets).

No price as of yet, don't know if the current design will be strong enough until we do some stress testing etc.
