There will be 10 blades around the "hub"... I put a bead of glue along both sides of both suppports, the same as is used on model rocket's fins.
Is this enough support for the fan blades??? i think it is - since the blades only weigh about 4 oz. each.
Yes, "times 10" equals 40 oz. Almost 3 pounds! Plus the Hub weighs about 1/2 pound...
