Thanks Chip.? With luck, I made the correct guesstimate on my counterweight requirements.? Now if my back-ordered setup will just get here, I'll enjoy an early Christmas!

Hi Jim,
The drawing and calculation method doesn't include the not insignificant weight of the counter weight shaft. so having too much weight is a possibility. I find that if I know the weight of the payload I just start with that much counterweight on the shaft and go from there. Keep us posted!
