I just acquired a foam plane ,an it doesn't have rudder ,it only has airelons ,I know that a plane can bank and turn on airelons when they are set to go
the opposite way from each other!

Question is,can I benefit from going ahead an adding the rudder ,or just leave it alone?

It is no problem adding the extra micro servo & push rod for it!...

Is this a V-tail? A picture might help to get a better idea of what you have going on.

My camera took a dump ,I cant take pics right now!

It is not a v tail ,the rudder is fixed straight an it came out stock with out a rudder set up its been flown with out rudder ,an only banked turns using
ailerons & elevator!

I would prefer a rudder mode until I get use to flying it ,its a low wing WW2 plane electric that I bought used!
I'm putting in my own radio gear!

a rudder can really help on the landing !

look at it this way "once you go rudder, you never go back"

that's what I say

Thnx ,

Well this is the first time that I seen a plane with out a rudder used other than a fixed rudder on a CL!

I been doing some work on it ,got the radio gear going an motor running ,I just have to purchase the micro servo's ,an
cut the rudder & add the hinges an horn!
I had just got done building an soldering a temporary battery pack for it until I get some lipo's!

I will get some pics up or atleast a vid ,I do have a Go-pro ,just haven't learned how to use it yet ,dang camera
