Thought I already posted these, oh well. 3D printed rotor blade leading edges:
Print out the edges, CA them together, then hot glue to a rectangle of dollar tree foam. Fast and really light weight.
I've also designed a set of full airfoil 3D printed blades to try. Gonna start that printing in just a bit before I head to work.
Still need to make the rotor head, been distracted with the blades. Once I get the rotor head done I can do some spin up tests and see if everything holds together or sends bits of foam and plastic everywhere.
