That is correct joe-if I were using an electronic s.c. the flywheel probably wouldn't be needed. I have a balancer that I used to balance my props when I was racing R/C boats but the flywheel is not balanced perfectly. To do that I would need a polished stainless shaft .080" dia. about 3" long and that I do not have. I just drilled a hole opposite the set screw and there is also-2-holes drilled in the top (for extra weight if needed) but I did that with the rotary table so they are drilled and spaced correctly. The balance is close and there is no vibration.
