So basiacally you just get the rotors to the same weight, just total weight, or is it more involved? Then balance the rotating assembly -rotors jsut like a piston engine?

Forgot to ask in my privious post. After reading GMONs post I was wondering about the counter weights.



So do you only mess with the counter weghts if the actual weight of the rotor is changed, or are they balanced with the eshaft?

And if they only need to be messed with if the rotors are lightend, how do oyu know where to take weight off of them after the rotors have been lightened?

Once the rotor weight is figured you mount the whole rotating assy in the machine minus the rotors. Then you clamp on some bobs that are the same weight but can be held in place where a rotor cant.

GMON, or anyone else, do you have any pictures of what the bobs look like when installed on the e-shaft by any chance, I'm just cusious. Cus the bobs wouldn't be the same size as the rotors right? I'm sorry but I am retarded and need pictures to figure stuff out.
