This is a picture of my foam type PVC blades. They are quite strong with the foam fill between the 2 thin skins.

The blade looks a littel more like a conventional blade?

These are 4ft. I'm working on 5 and 8 ft versions. These 4ft are cut from 6" foam pipe.

My next hubs are made from Choice deck. Its that plastic wood stuff. It lasts forever and its not effected by watter.

PS. This foam pipe material is about 5/16" thick. I'm makeing the larger blades from 8" diameter foam pipe.

OK, I'll bite - how do you cut that curved slot in your wooden hub?

Aaah .... the trusty "roto-zip", as seen on late-night TV!
