5 or 6 foot wooden blades needed
« on: July 16, 2006, 05:04:07 PM »
I am looking for a website that has instructions on how to make 5-6 foot wooden blades for a 3 blade setup. Any help would be great thanks. I am new to this.

Try this link: http://www.scoraigwind.com/selfblade/index.htm

Its for a little larger unit but you should be able to just shorten up the stations a little bit and use the same profiles. Have to convert cm to inches.
