At my relative's porch. I usually don't mess with blade configuration on other people's fans but this time I HAD to, and they let me. I'm surprised no one else made a demonstration video of post-2015 Hunter Original yet so this is why I HAD to make a good video showing different blade configurations. They are also on remotes that are made for Hunter Original, but they are rated only 1 amp, so they're not really for Original made before 2002 except 42" and 48" ones. The parts I kept are downrods, switch caps (they want to have lights), and canopies (they use canopies that come with remote kit, since original ones are too small). They however want to keep 5th blade for both fans for backup use.
And for those who don't know, they're back to USA style motor but in skeletal version. When comparing to pre-2002 Original, I have to say that high speed is a bit slower with 5 blades, about the same with 4 blades, and a bit faster with 2 blades. The differences are greater because the motor is still like 20 pole instead of 28 pole which means that maximum RPM is farther from RPM with blades on, so it causes it to have greater differences in blade configuration. And we know that 4 blade configuration blows most air, so it doesn't really matter as long as you want to use blade configuration that blows most air.
Video of them on factory speeds, showing 5, 4, and 2 blades, notice how the motor is still black, unlike the one in stock photo.
Video of them on remote control speeds, remote control give them better low than factory low.

I actually like this style, though the most Original variants I like the most are the USA made ones. BTW, is this Light Kit outdoor rated?

Are they really 51"? I thought they were all 52". I own one of these, and haven't yet hooked it up to power, but I imagine it's a good overall fan from what I've heard, even Mr. Brian Hicks himself says so.

It's still stator inside rotor, but I'm guessing they redid something internal. Do you know what it is? Whatever it is, these 2nd gen Taiwanese Originals are more powerful than the 1st gens. |

They're 52" with 5 blades, they're 51" with 4 blades. Notice how 4 blade holes are about half an inch closer to the center, which means it loses half an inch in radius, meaning it loses an inch in diameter. |

Yes, like I said it got elements back, like 4" bearing shaft. It still looks the same, but Brian Hicks took it apart to find out it got old elements back. |
