Hi RickP. Awesome build and great looking model. I have one worry - your all flying rudder. I fly a Jodel 1050 fullsize and it has almost no fixed vertical fin (stabiliser) with an all flying rudder. We find that directional stability is low and it is easy to fly with sideslip. Also, on take off, the aircraft points where the rudder is pointing and it is easy to get into a yaw pio*. So my advice would be to try and not use the rudder till at a safe height and then apply small amounts of rudder to be able to see its effects. I expect it will be OK, but urge caution. *Pilot induced oscilation
