ORIGINAL:
What are you drawing with? How many of the rotors have aluminum inserts?
Greg, I am using Inventor. I have Pro E too, but I like Inventor for simple tasks.

The rotors are about 50/50 with the inserts. I'll upldate my chart later.

Already two design issues. My fan choice hits the carburetor venturi and the head of the Tee Dee sticks compleatly outside of the 3" ducting. My choices for the fan are to either turn it back so it fits and change the blade profile, or space it out. I'm not happy with either choice. And with the head for the Tee Dee I am going to need to duct air over and around it right? Otherwise it will overheat? Not much room in the airframe there, I think the wing spar is right above it.
