Tom Wright 2 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Hi All Following my Fun Cub Auto gyro conversion, I decided to try a set of AJ 450 blades on this model. The Fun Cub in is a 60" model so it is much bigger and more than double the weight of the Crane Fly models fitted with the same blades. I am pleased to report it flew really well and lifted the 2.25 lbs model with ease ,this suggests to me that these blades could be used on models weighing even more. BTW the blades were shimmed at 0.8 mm 6 mm back from the bolt hole centre . These results also suggest that when the 450s are used on lighter models like the Auto- G the mast angle needs to be lower or a more practical approach would be to shim at 0.8 mm and reduce the blade length for best results.

John AJ Blades Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Hi All Just to let you know AJ Blades will be closed from Friday, 12th December 2014 opening again on Monday 5th January 2015. Merry Christmas to you all. John Edited By John AJ Blades on 09/12/2014 21:17:09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Manuel Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 John, I suspect that demand might pick up again during January as we all complete our 2015 Mass build of the Atom - and begin "flying" them Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John AJ Blades Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 Hi Gary According to our records, we have sold around 70 sets of blades for the Atom since mid-September. Yes some may have been for other models but I suspect that most were for the Atom. Wishing you all a merry christmas and a happy new year.

John AJ Blades Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hi I have been informed by Big T that my 700 blades transform the flying characteristics of the latest AC10. These blades are currently out of stock but if enough people email me saying they want a set I will make some at the end of the month when I return from my holiday. Please send an email to AJ Blades stating that you want a set and I will see what I can do to help. Regards John AJ Blades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John AJ Blades Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Hi I have had a few requests to make more of our 700mm x 60mm blades. As these blades are made from 900mm long blanks, if anybody wants a set of un-cut blades, please let me know. The cost will be the same. Postage may be a little more but not sure until I try it. This will also be probably the last run of these blades. When they are gone, they are gone. John, A J Blades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John AJ Blades Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 Hi All This is just to let you know that I will be going into hospital in a few weeks for a knee replacement. I do not think I will be able to make any more blades during the foreseeable future. I would imagine late January at the earliest. However, I will review the situation after Christmas. I appreciate your support over the last couple of years. Regards John A J Blades Edited By John AJ Blades on 28/10/2015 20:13:59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham L Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Likewise John I hope it all goes well for you. My wife had 2 knee ops in 2013 and 2014 within 4 months of each other. She was up and about very quickly( next day) and it has made such a difference to her. They had her climbing stairs within 24 hours of the ops !!!. All the best Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John AJ Blades Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Hi All It is with deep regret that I must inform you that producing blades is no longer a viable proposition and have closed the shop. It has been a lot of fun and have learnt an awful lot along the way and met some very nice people, but as I said, it is not viable anymore. Kind regards John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Jones Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Your own wellbeing must come first. Thanks for being there when I wanted some blades. All the best for the future. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
