Piper Dakota Maintenance Manual page 426

a. Nose Heavy: This condition is highly improbable; recheck calculations and measurements.
b. Nose Light: Mass balance weight is too light or rudder is too heavy because of painting; it is
necessary to strip and repaint. If rudder is too heavy as a result of repairs, repair must be removed
and damaged parts replaced.
A non-adjustable mass balance weight is molded in the nose of
the rudder tip. All rudders should be maintained within static
balance weights provided in figure 55-4.
