I have not flown C/L for about 30 years, (flying R/C for the last few, though). I decided to teach my son how to fly, and built a Cadet w/ an .049. Every C/L plane I had ever seen, as a kid and up until now (including the Cadet) had right rudder built in to keep the lines taut. Since Then I began to build the Stunt Chimp, and was informed (on this forum) it did not have any rudder offset. Curious, I went to Brodak's website, and learned that they did not recommend rudder offset to keep lines tight, but adjusting the placement of the control lines at the wing tips to give the plane the correct attitude and right pull. It makes sense, but doesn't seem like it would be as effective. When did this method become popular (has it always been used, but I just never noticed?), and is it as effective at keeping the lines tight? Are there certain models that it works better on than others? It seems you would always want some right rudder, even if only a small amount, but perhaps I am wrong. Please share.

Thanks,
