anyone have access to a damaged helicopter rotor?

[grumpyvette]

Ive got a good friend building a serious race car that wants to fabricate a rear deck spoiler that can be adjusted , hes looking for a 72" long 10"-15" wide section of helicopter rotor wing to fabricate the rear spoiler from, obviously price and availability are considerations here but if you have access to a damaged rotor wing blade that has at least that much semi useable length left in your inventory dirt cheap hes most willing to re-purpose the material for his race car.

i asked around at fire and police in the aviation units and they looked at me like i wanted nuclear launch codes lol i told them i just needed over six feet of scrap rotor and they were in shock like i was setting them up for a sting.. apparently the county isnt a good place to ask for scrap metal.

ill talk to my buddy that works at tamiami airport this weekend and put him on the hunt.

while you may not appreciate the trend its rather obvious some guys adding pronounced at least semi-functional rather that the previously ,totally decorative rear spoilers is currently a trend thats going on. and yes if properly installed and designed they can provide a noticeable increase in high speed down force.

Those race spoilers are popular with mega fast street car drag racers also.
6-7-8 second ET cars.

yep... dont care if it adds 25hp. not doin it. really genuinely do not like that look on a car. couple factory exceptions to my rule, but generally im not a fan of winging it.
