Not really-- ailerons work well. It very much depends on the aircraft -- combat models & flying wings invariably don't have rudders.
There can be limitations in the flight envelope without a full set of flying surfaces, but not necessarily unworkable limitations.

RE: I was looking over fly things products....
just as exeter acres said,
I know Spiro from flying things, and those models are NOT for beginners, i was shocked to see that name in this forum lol
they are meant for flyers that have alot of experience.
i cant help but chuckle at that lol Do not use one of the flying thingz to learn how to land. Get a trainer, and if you are good at that, try something low wing , like a four star from Sig or somthing
the Flying Thingz are fun though, here's some pics at the last show i went to, Spiro is flying.

I guess that you're ready for the lawnmower Sarge --- go for it.

I am just saying that they are nothing like a trainer, they are pretty difficult compared to something like a trainer.
The witch, if any, is the one you should probobly try, it is mainly a powered kite, and it flies the easiest.

RE: I was looking over fly things products....
the lawn mower only has ailerons/elevon thing like a diamond dust or whiplash. The one I see flying here is good but the only fault is no glide ratio at all. when the engine quits , it comes straight down.
