Here's a picture of mine, you can see the two formers as well as the carbon cloth where the sockets for the rudder are. Even if another former was added but the vertical fin sockets were not attached to the former the fin would flex. My vertcal fin has two carbon rods about 3/8'' in diameter and about three inches long that slide on to the sockets that are attached to the formers.

Albert,
I'm glad to see someone else posting pictures to help clarify this issue. I only wish I would have taken pics of my rudder when I had it removed a week ago to replace the rudder servo. The carbon rods (spars) that are ommited is what I was trying to explain and hope are included in new kits.
On another note. Looking at your picture, I would install some type of shielding for your servo wires before perfoming your maiden. Some thin aluminum tape is what most are using to help protect wires from heat. Look at the picture in post #64. Some of the tape has been removed to replace servo but 100% of all wiring is covered in aluminum tape prior to flight and prevents damage in the event of a hot start.
