Hi Nigel
We are also a licensed aircraft mechanic, but only in Helicopters, and only in the bell 540 rotor system. We are fully licensed in the UH-1E type in all areas except avionics.
We have built and repaired rotor blades constructed of all aluminum, with a honeycomb core, but that is old...
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.

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.
