Not sure if I can recall ever seeing any FCG that was countered . Would you post a link to one that you know of , so we can view the building pics and or a video of it in action . Would like to see how they used counter weights where they are not visible , or in the way of movement .
Would be interesting to see one .
Thanks

milemarker, phantasmechanics has a great how to with the counter weight here:

I love the speed of your motor! I think the slower motor, the better and yours has the spookiest speed I've seen. Mine (Dayton motor) moves too fast for my liking: She's at 1:20 time stamp...

Terra, at least yours doesn't look like it's having an epileptic fit, my first dayton was a mislabeled motor, it was supposed to be 6 RPM, but when I hooked it up I found it to be the 120 RPM model!!
I never knew a flying ghost could dance!!
I sent that motor back and got the right one.

HA HA HA! Did you get video?

No I was too horrified at the destruction of my poor ghost....Frank is the second incarnation of my FCG and unfortunately did not come out as nice as the first
