That's right no fixing hole shown on blade as the balance point is un-known until you balance your blades.

And then once you have found your balance point you make the fixing hole 1 mm behind of that point.

This is because wood is grown and not made, so the weight is not even along the wood.

 

Steve. 

Many thanks Steve. I think I now understand what's going on.

Having had a good look at the plans and article for the Gyroo I have a couple of questions. 

There appears to be no hole shown on the blade for the fixing bolt.

I don't  understand the balancing process. Thick I know but that's what advancing years does to you.

I have designed a built a 1/5th scale model of a Luton Minor. The original Aicraft (G-ASML) was finished in standard silver butyrate UV protection dope. Does anyone know were I might obtain a suitable paint? The model is covered in white solar tex.

Man y years a thumb man, but with advancing years they are getting a bit stiff. Maybe a tray and fingers and thumbs for the future.
