Looking for info on rotor blade manufactures

[Paul Golphy]

I've been out of the loop for a few years. Are there any other rotor blade manufactures out there other then Vorteck and Dragon Wings?

Thanks guys for getting back to me . Though I've been flying my Barnett since 1999 I miss flying my Benson and thats what the blades are for. Due to shipping costs I would sooner buy from a north american supplier. It sucks to find out there are only around 3 suppliers any more and they all are virtualy all the same price. I did check out the Averso web side. I have no idea what it said its not even in english. Mabe they have a distributor in North America. I don't know.

"I have no idea what it said its not even in english. Mabe they have a distributor in North America"

C'est bon.

Not even in english - it's a big World out there.

You details suggest you are in Canada - hopefully you've got some familiarity with the french language.

If not Google Translate is always good for a rough translation.

As I mentioned "Averso" is a forum member, he writes here in english - drop him a msg.

Bon chance

Gary Layzel began producing his (Rotordyne) rotors in France due to the rather high cost of the other rotors produced locally.

Having said that Averso Rotors do however look a very good product.

Probably won't help you in Canada though.

And they are NOT all the same price!

[Georgi]

Any change to english / french Rotordyne rotors? What is weight and pricing? Somehow I can't find his site with all that info.
Thanks.

[Paul Golphy]

Thanks guys. I think I'm going to check into the Brock blades. For 23ft. blades. Dragon wings are $2195.00 Vortec are $2110.00 and for Sportcopter $2695.00. I have Rotordynes on my Barnett yes they are a great blade.

hi whats the best way to ship blades in a box within the usa?

[Paul Golphy]

Just got my new Brock rotor blades from Rodger at Farwest Aviation on Wednesday. $1295.00 with out the hubbar. I had a Benson Hubbar that someone gave to me years ago and they fit pefectly on to it. A 36 inch bar would have cost another $360.00. Done 5 or 6 low passes over the runway this morning and hope to do a ciruit this evening. Been many years since I flew a Benson so I'm taking it slow. Got use to flying my JB-2 Barnett and it's like flying a cadelac. The Brock blades fly great. They spin up nice, take off speed 40 to 45 MPH and are smooth as glass.

Giorgi, Gary is in the middle of moving all his equipment down to France, but the English/French blades Rotordynes will be essentialy the same.
