Julian Edgar was doing things with increased radii corners, not necessarily an airfoil although he did use a gawd awful Gottengen profile windmill blade (mostly because he could get them easy/cheap)

Oooh roof seam tape. A very good idea. I could curve the tip with either a small dowel inside or just layering the tape, depending on how big I wanted it.
I also looked into trying to get an actual wooden airfoil, like for a model airplane or somesuch. But they are all made out of balsa wood and I don't know if that will be able to withstand the conditions. If I did use them, attaching with some screws covered by roof seam tape sounds like it would be secure and waterproof.
Thanks for the idea!
