Yep, quite a few! Thats Hughes 269/300 blades with lead-lag ear on the root trailing edge braced to the hub bar. Each blade is retained by a 5/8 AN bolt and nut. The braces mantain the "string" alignment.

That's strickly up to you, or whoever the builder is. If you don't understand it, you probably shouldn't.
I, and many others, have safely flown them for hundreds of hours.

The owner said the blades were in excellent condition. Been sitting for 3 years im just trying to figure out what gyro is worth comes with 2 engines. Didnt know Hughes wings were good for gyro,s
