No one, though, has mentioned where you send the rotating assembly to get it balanced and what it costs. Does anyone who's been down the path have a list of sources for balancing and an idea of the cost involved? I assume that when the assembly gets sent out it includes the rotors, e-shaft, & both counterweights... what about the flywheel? Is that (or should it be) included in the stuff provided for the dynamic balance? Am I missing anything?
