- iliis 14y agoI don't really know, I've never flown one for real. Judging by flying remote-controlled models and the idea that a tail is basically a direct controller of pitch and yaw regardless of form I would say it's not a big difference when turning. Wikipedia says: "Ruddervators provide the same control effect as conventional control surfaces, but through a more complex control system that actuates the control surfaces in unison."
