<< Lynn,
 Good info on balancing the two rotors.
 Does the rotor have to balanced within itself for a best balancing outcome.
 I'm doing a 'single rotor' and was wondering if I need to go that far.

The rotors are balanced dynamically (spin balanced) from the factory and then 
hand selected into sets that weigh the same within a few grams. Notice some 
balance marks on all but one corner (generally).

If you have not machined anything off of the rotor, it will still be 
dynamically balanced, and need no further attention. In the single rotor, the whole 
rig is going to be dynamically balanced, so the two counter weights will equal 
the weight of the rotor exactly. There may be some not obvious tricks like 
misbalancing to account for power pulses or similar. Check with another builder so 
as not to reinvent the wheel on that. Paul Yaw, Richard Sohn or Dave Adkins 
come to mind.
