Drbenz,
Many people turn down the fins and balance them. If you remove all of the fins and balance it, you can save an extra once. You have to retain the integrity of the wheel. Safety is paramont.

Gryohead,
It will be hard to generate performance numbers. A 10% reduction in weight will make it respond better, but I don't think you can tell. The idea is to trim off as much weight from the engine as possible.

trimming of weight is for the airplane wingloading gyro, plus it does have some extra drag because the fins are pushing air though not much
