I do have the angle sensor I will try with your design
Thanks a lot!

At least one of the balance weights needs to be repositioned.
Both must be exactly opposite the rotor. If you set the e-shaft
up some how on perfectly horizontal knife edges so it is free to 
rotate you can then statically balance the assembly (e-shaft, rotor 
& balance weights) out side of the rotor and end housings.
