Default RE: Rudder offset or not?

I agree that leadout position is probably the most important variable, but wouldn't you then offset the rudder a bit just to ALLOW the yaw that the leadouts are trying obtain? Wouldn't want a straight rudder to fight the leadouts. And why do I keep hearing about the ineffectiveness of the rudder at slow speed? You've got the prop blast, well, blasting away. When I send an RC straight up until it almost stops, a blast of throttle and rudder makes her yaw pretty smart. Don
