Hi Fred - where have you been, I hadn't seen comments from you recently!

Rusty purchased the single as a 'completed engine' so might not know the
different weights.

I have some updated info on the single and balancing if you need it.

Do you remember we were discussing the merits of different placement of the
single rotor oiling cooling jet -well that's all sorted!

When I get mine done I will give you all the details but it depends on what
rotor you are using ( and it's internal volume).

I won't go into details here and bore everyone with a lengthy discussion on
the single - contact me directly.
