I have found the aspect ratio of Gyro blades should be about 10 to 12 that is the ratio between length and chord. They flex up on plastic hinges to compensate for the unequal lift between the advancing & retreating blades. A very flat bottom clark Y section works perfect, for a .25 size engine gyro the rota loading should be about 2.5 ounces psqft.
