Hi Paul

Received my billet eccentric shaft from New Zealand, and the part

looks

good. You will see the rotor bearing flanks are smaller in that the

10mm of

metal adjacent is missing - like the 12A shafts I believe. This was

done to

lighten the shaft for racing.

The thing that has bothered me, is that the engineer that made it

stated

that the shaft needed balancing. Talking to some experienced rotary

guys

here, they say that only the factory can really conduct proper

balancing,

and not many people attempt it, and the veracity of their claims

cannot be

verified. Any thoughts on this Paul? The fact that the shaft is

lighter - is

that a concern? I believe the rotors and counterweights have to be

balanced

somehow all together.

Paul Carey,
What is that NZ Coy. again - I've had a hard drive crash and lost the most
recent stuff.
I actually e-mail them and didn't get a reply the last time - do you have a
contact person.
