I received the main blades this afternoon. They are a beautiful piece of craftmanship. I was suprised at the individual weight. Being a carbon fiber composite blade, I would have thought they would have been lighter. I can't imagine how much a wooden blade must weigh. I'm sure most of the weight must be due to the aluminum extrusions the run the full length of the leading and trailing edges. I purchased some blade tape from Bruce that I will install before mounting them. I also received the transmissions and the exhaust system this week. I plan to uncrate and thoroughly inspect each component this weekend.
