Marty, in my opinion (With almost highest flying scores at the latest F4C scale world champs at Canada.) the guys who made these rudders on jets obligatory didn't really knew what they where talking about!!! Not to attack you on this, (I guess you're on the right side!) but I flew several jets with functional rudders and they are nice to play with during your displays, only at those very low take-off and landing speeds they do not bother very much. (Some people come with the story; "On my full-size aircraft..." this is crap and a whole other ballgame! We use totally different airspeeds and relative air thickness, just read the books about Reynold numbers...!) Instead it's very important to maneuver the complete model in such a way, high angle of attack and gentle wing drop against the crosswind, to give the model the desired heading. (Most jet jockeys already do this automatically without knowing!)

I fly my Avonds F-15 and F-16 on tailerons only and they are a dream to fly and I can position the models in the air exactly where I want them to be. I've also seen very small jet models doing this so there would be no problem to configure your BVM F-16 this way, WOjtec.
