helicopter rotor blades
Anyone have any information on helicopter rotor blade design and construction? We are building a light helicopter, and would also like to build our own composite blades. We could use an aluiminum spar but would prefer to construct the whole blade from composites. Royce- 1blessed

Helicopter Main Rotor Blades
Hi Teelave We are interested in the milling of the huey leading edges. We are interested in building a set for a light helicopter. We can buy the spars made of extruded 6061-T3, but would like to know if it is possible to mill our own. 1blessed- 1blessed
