do you really need the rudder? can i just installed them in a fix position or i have to go with the dual rudder servo installation?

My friend Serge and I both bought our Bobcats at the same time, I installed rudder servos, he did not.
The only time I used rudders were on landing,...to help line up the runway. Winds are usually straight down the runway at our field, so I found I didn't really need the rudders, so I removed the servos, and fixed the rudders. I also have the elevator servo inside the stab now, so plane is alot cleaner (and faster) without all those servos hanging out there. I would say, if your field is not prone to strong cross winds,..then don't bother with putting rudder servos on.
What about knife edge flight? Or, was the Bobcat incapable of KE flight with rudders?.
