The device for reducing windage effects comprises at least one balancing ring 20,22 which partially or fully covers the locating slots 14 and internal slots for engaging and disengaging that does not protrude outbound of the ring 20,22. Each balancing ring 20,22 is preferably provided with two integrally formed anti-rotation members 40,42 for engaging the locating slots 14. Each balancing ring is also preferably provided with a slot 28,30 in a weighted portion of the ring 20,22 for receiving a tool 44 for positioning the balancing ring in a desired position. <IMAGE> <IMAGE> |
