When you take into consideration all the planes not flying with counter weighted rudders. I don't have mine weighted with five pounds and I have had my plane in speeds up to 260 mph in high speed passes.

It all depends on how much risk you want to assume in your test flying phase.� Glasair Aviation has flight tested and proven their design.� The 4.5 lbs. of counterweight is known to work.� However, the construction is up to you.� Just know that any changes you make to these balance considerations are on your head to�demonstrate flight-worthiness.� The previous poster has said that he reduced the balance weight and has had good success.� You may or may not.� Do you want the added risk of flutter to all the other issues you will face on test flying your airplane?� Your call.
Best Regards,
Steve�

Because they didn't not want to do so, I know that some builders were not able to cram in the 4.5 pounds of weight suggested. I was one of them.
