Thats cause we're a bunch of Ozies.  The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now. JAQ |

Hello Glenn and Trevor. I have a set of f/g blades from USA . They cost around $150 to land here, i then sanded and painted them . They come with small hub fittings which can be adapted to our spline by means of a 300mm disc, mine is 16mm weatherproof ply . They are 7 feet dia. A bit noisy,and require quite a blow to get them over 28v ,then they stall,lol. So, I'd recommend u's going to a bit larger indeed,. Say, min of 13 feet and the owners can cut a bit off later if they wish. Also make them rather wide at the root area to overcome the F&P cogging effect. Thanks, Bruce  Bushboy |

I have a set of art's blades also and am going to put them on my F&P but for now they are on a 200 volt PMDC motor and they seem to start up in very little wind.
