The point of balane is not on the hinge line, but slightly aft of the hinge
about 3/5 ths of the way up from the bottom of the rudder. The ideal
balance is to prevent not only "left-and-right" flutter, but also flutter
about a horizontal axis through the rudder.
I used sheet lead in my not yet flying Super II - FT, and had planty of
spare room for the counterweight, even with it shorter (fore and aft) than
called for in the manual.

My GL 2S FT has a Hartzel constant speed prop. My plane cruises at 210 mph using 10 gals per hour at 8,000 feet with full throttle. My RPM is 2375. Higher RPM'S actually make the plane fly slower. A friend has a GL 2 FT using a McCauley prop and cruises at 220 MPH.
The lister that has the TD with a 160 hp, fixed pitch appears to be in the speed range for that configuration.

At 10 gal. per hour your making about 125 to 130 horse power... I guess
that means that we should all be using a McCauley prop... Like your
friend...
