I have a set of Rotordyne blades and I have two questions.

First, I only have a long hub bar (maybe 4 feet) with shims ( has a three bolt pattern). I really like the blades but cannot locate my short hub bar. Is there any way to get a replacement hub bar? If so, what is required, will I have to send the blades off?

Second, where the hub bar meets the blade, there is about a 1/2 inch gap. Is this normal with these blades? Does anyone else have a gap? I know most other blades I have seen don't have a gap.

As a note, these are very early Rotordynes and do not suffer from the delamination issue.
