Mine will not hold KE flight. A bigger rudder would help. Maybe look at a Twist. You can buy two for the price of one SE. It has a much larger rudder and does a decent KE. Both plane however are fairly short coupled. If a majority of your routine is KE I would find something with a longer fuse. A UCD3D does a good knife edge for example.

My ARF version would knife edge fine with high rudder throw and the coupling was minimal. If you are concerned though, a larger rudder might help as others have suggested.
