Ed and Bobby,

I await your findings with much interest. I posted some references just a couple of weeks ago (magazine articles) that stated the RX8 rotors are 10% (or was it 11%???) lighter than the 9.7 rotors; this would make the weight 8.2 lbs. We'll see!!!

Thanks, Bobby

I would appreciate that. From some reports it sounds like they and the 9.7:1 may weigh the same in which case I already have the right counterweights. I'm not going anywhere, so take your time {:>)

Subject: [FlyRotary] Renesis Rotor Weight

Ed,

I have my Renesis apart and will weigh the rotors on a postage scale early next week. I am out of town until then. They have been ceramic coated but that should not add much weight.

Glad you made it down safe.
