You must also stop the air from spinning from the fan, to straight air to get foreward thrust. (rear stator blades)

My Rk-049 is a hard thin cardboard with plywood rings around it.

Pat,
Do you know how "thin" I am thinking 1/64 lite ply?

The plans for the RK-049 are very specific about the angle of the front and rear sator blades. I assume it's for this reason. See the attached photos, it came with some aligning fixtures as well.
