1/2 inch balsa blocks. Drive shaft connectors from Legos for the hub.Al tubing on the blades.beads from a craft store for the hub. The blades are pinned together, thru the hub, with piano wire.

poppy....Thanx...I am learning that a lot of thinking first really pays off. Like chess I am always thinking at least three moves ahead. The rabbit came out of the hat when I rummaged thru the son's Legos parts. Once I saw hubs that would work the rest just seemed to fall in place.

John, you hit the nail on the head. A well thought out plan is much easier to execute.
