Hi All,
Can anyone tell me.. when you measure the rotors do you count the hub bar in as the blade length.. as from tip of rotor to tip of rotor + hubar measures 26ft 10.1/2 inches does this sound right the blades are alloy made by rotorhawk
thanks! from an apprentice!

I'm no expert but my answer would be yes. I have 23' skywheels each blade is only 11' long and they each slide one foot into a 3' hub bar.

Sounds right. Our 23'DW's are 11' each with a 1' hub bar.
