I have no idea how to go about balancing a single rotor.   Would it
be accomplished by adding more balance weights to the e-shaft.  How
would one do this?   Is  it done while the e-shaft is balanced
between two knife edges.   Perhaps my question reveal that I am
missing the point altogether.      ???????? Jerry

Knife edges give you static balance only.
It is not easy Jerry. You need to know exactly where the center of mass is
in a counter weight. In other words how far the counter weight is from the

center of the

rotor along the axis of the e-shaft. Perhaps the easy thing is to send it
to a guy here in So Cal that balances rotary engines
and then copy exactly what he comes up with. Call Mazdatrix for the
name of the guy they use.

We have balanced them before.

Assuming the shaft is made retaining the rear rotor journal, the keyway
groove in the rear counterweight needs to be re-cut 180 degrees out to put
BOTH counterweights on the same side, then a bunch of weight is taken out of
both of them.
