They don't need to be that heavy, use less wraps of tissue and thinner glue. 4 or 5 wraps are enough and just enough thin amberoid to wet the tissue.

  Subject: [Indoor_Construction] Prop hub - paper tubes



  Started working on some new hubs for F1M and later F1D. The thing that
  makes me wonder is the use of paper tubes to hold the blades. I have been
  using them as they make adjusting and changing the blades so easy. But the
  tubes seem to be heavy - a pair of 2.5mm (1/10") tubes about 12mm (1/2")
  long weight almost 100mg. Am I making my tubes too heavy, or are they just
  like that? Is there a better way to attach blades to the hub?
