Question S6 rotor and S5 TII rotor in same engine?

Hey all, have a quick question about rotor balance. I need just one new rotor for my S5 TII engine. I have found an FD rotor, which I know Is practically the same thing as an S5 TII rotor with minor differences. are the differences large enough to make it unsafe to run an FD rotor with my S5 TII rotor in the same engine?

Thanks

I don’t have 100% of your answer, but you should also need to make sure they’re within the same weight.

im specifically talking about the rotor weight marking on the rotor. I believe they have to be within 1 letter of each other. I know s5 rotors are marked, but am unsure of s6.

example: rotor marked C. Then you can use a rotor marked B or D.

S5 and FDs use the same N350 counterweights. As long as the rotors are within one letter of each other on the Weight Code as you mentioned, send it.
