Get this Rafale, already has a rudder and flies "fan tastic" sorry for the pun, just can't help myself. I even know where you can get one for a better price than HL sells them for

Been a long time. My brother has the Hornet and he's a rudder flyer. I was looking at that Rafale wondering how it flew....I guess you like yours? I'll have to make my way back down to Fentress to see all the planes. I missed the big fly-in this year because I had a sailboat race....miss flying though.
