Default Skipping a Rudder

I am a propjet guy . I have the usual F-20s, UltraSports and some others. I am currently building a Mig Flanker (twin Vertical fins). The plane is darn close to be glassed. I was looking at it the other day thinking, I don't use rudder for anything other than taking of with a taildragger.
I don't knife edge or any of that. Is their any reason why I should not make the fins solid on both sides? With all the linkage and associated stuff, its would be one less thing to go wrong.
