Default Anyone add rudders to Hobby Lobby F/A-18?

I've been looking at the Hobby Lobby F/A-18s (http://www.hobby-lobby.com/hornet.ht...me&source=rot8). Has anyone done a rudder mod to this plane they can post pictures of?

Tim,

Get this Rafale, already has a rudder and flies "fan tastic" sorry for the pun, just can't help myself. I even know where you can get one for a better price than HL sells them for

No..and I don't think it needs them..I think it would just add weight with no real benefit. I Think after you flew the plane you would see no rudder needed.

Joey!!!

Been a long time. My brother has the Hornet and he's a rudder flyer. I was looking at that Rafale wondering how it flew....I guess you like yours? I'll have to make my way back down to Fentress to see all the planes. I missed the big fly-in this year because I had a sailboat race....miss flying though.
