"My PVC blades seem to stall and never overspeed."

That's another great point.  Even my wood blades, which ARE poorly made by any official standards (read my post about the mistakes I made)...  the one thing I can say about these blades, with the not-so-good airfoil shape, is that you can watch them accelerate.  You can "see" the lift in action.  I did NOT see that with my PVC / Barrel blades.
