Also as I recall the last Turbine Blade I saw did look very simlar to
my glider wing. However if i remember correctly I believe it weighed
almost 1200 lbs (maybe it was 600) for one blade. My whole glider
weighs less than 600 lbs. I suspect they like the weight in the turbine
blades to help reduce the effects of gusts on it.
