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.
