If I converted a control line plane to an RC plane, how would it fly?

My major question is about the vertical stabilizer. The vertical stabilizer on most CL planes is relatively short compared to those on a similar RC plane.
1. How would the short vertical stabilizer affect the flight characteristics even with a rudder?
2. Would the plane "skid" through turns?
3. Would the rudder be more effective?

Thanks,
Vic
