No vertical stab or rudder and still flew!
Well today i stress test my OMP Yak. I was doing blenders. I would start so far up you cant see it then start rolling till i get about just below tree top level and throw it into a inverted flatspin. Boy it was a lot of fun. Well last flight I said well I am going to start rolling left then roll right then roll back left then throw it into a blender. I did that and as soon as I threw it into a flat spin the vertical stab along with the rudder rip completly off!!! I mean it came off Clean. I still had control of the airplane being a profile I guess. It still flew with out the vertical stab and I landed safely. Was tons of fun!!!

Re: No vertical stab or rudder and still flew!
I had the right side of the horizontal stab and elevator blow off my badboy during a wall a few weeks ago. It still flew well and I even managed to do a harrier landing.
