Everything is probably relative. I am using my stock fan (even had to put it in
a shop press to take just a "wee" bit of pitch out of the blade to get it to
fit), and it has not yet thrown a blade, but you never know when that might
happen? It has gone across country twice and is still running strong. I am not
disputing what jack is saying, as IF he is correct, and I have just been lucky,
then it is GREAT advice. However, the other side of the issue is that maybe HIS
and ONLY his fan was defective? I don't guess this solves your dilemma Allen,
but maybe it will bring out a couple of other success or failure stories, and
then maybe you can draw on the "majority"?
