I see your plane parts and they look smooth . I have idea cut circles for savanious wind turbines. making four circles three or four feet in diameter should be no problem. next rout a couple flat bottomed s shapes into the discs use adhesives gorilla glue ,silicone to adhere the pieces together. My first HAWT was plywood and aluminum flanged pipe cut in half the foam is lighter and after assembly could be coated with polymers or powder coated with some coating to make it a uv resistant and possibly after further rounding over or stream lining. I hope adventually some one will do this challenge project. the cnc plasma could easly cut steel parts to support the foam at each disc attach it to the shafting fabricate bearing supports ect
