I kind of did this.When the rotor was on the ground I installed the 2 end bearing and plates and raised the whole thing a few inches off the ground. I spun it around and welded balance pieces on so that it would never stop in the same place. It went fairly well. I think a drawback is that a 4 stages rotor is just a pain to balance. In the rotors vertical state it never stops at the same spot which may or may not be related to its total weight.

Thanks Jim
