Wow, a WildHare warbird. I'm impressed. Looking at the pictures, it looks like the vertical fin / rudder are small as if they were modeled after the prototype or very early Hellcats. This might just be an optical thing in the pictures .... not sure.

Overall, count me in on this one. Love Hellcats!

It's a good thing to have a small rudder in this case. The rudder is super sensitive, to the point that you can fly the plane on 3 channels, rudder/elevator/throttle, and almost imperceptible throws. It will happily do a rudder roll with no ailerons at all. If you get one, be very careful with rudder inputs, it is extremely effective.

That would be quite a contrast to my Ziroli Skyraider that needs full right rudder on takeoff to stay straight down the runway. Real warbird fliers will be able to handle a "gentle" warbird!
