Here is a first spec for my one rotors.
The weight is based on today's test configuration including planed mods for final configuration.
 
Hi Richard,
 
Thanks for the specs.  I thought the weight seemed a little low, until I took a closer look at the photo you sent before.  Now I see that you've thinned the iron housings.  I'm guessing that you thinned the iron, then added the aluminum plates to bring the thickness back to the original iron housing size.  Is that correct?  If so, how much weight do you figure you saved over using the stock iron housings?  
 
Anyway, it looks REALLY great, and I'll be interested to follow your progress.  Aren't you around the Defuniak springs area?  If so, I'd love to see the engine in person some day.
 
Cheers,
Rusty
