Default RE: Foam combat plane

You don't need a rudder to snaproll, you just need enough elevator. A rearward CG helps as well. My SSC class planes will snaproll if I use ailerons and elevator, and yes, it's a real snaproll, not a barrel roll.

But if you're looking for nice acrobatics, you do need that rudder. Of course in combat we generally try to avoid snaprolls
