Default Rudder below thrust line

Here is a photo of a model I have made. It is a 1918 Hanza-Brandenburg W-29. As you see the rudder is strange. I have not flown this yet but it taxies great on the snow. The rudder has lots of travel and lots of authority on the snow and on the pavement too. The rudder is right in the propwash. There is no water rudder on this nor the full size.
