Sorry Dave, but I wouldn't count on this being a true statement.&nb= sp; I suspect
you will definately be unhappy if you get the wrong v= ersion counterweight
installed.

The difference between rotors is = generally not much, and you're allowed to
have rotors that are something like 3 letter codes apart without balanc= ing.
I don't think having the right series counterweight is optional tho= ugh.

Rusty

Can someone translate all these buzzwords and expl= ain how they relate to one
another?

S4, S5, S6, letter codes on rotors, etc???

Thank= s,
Bill Bradburry
