I have a LW Velocity. One thing it seems to lack is Rudder. Personally, I would retain any advantage in yaw control I could. Compared to most production aircraft, the rudder is deficient on the Velocity in my opinion. I don't see any advantage in making a smaller rudder!

Hello folks!
There seems to be two schools of thoughts on the lower winglet and the treatments of the rudders. I have SUV (standard wing).
I received the pre-molded lower winglet with my kit. They are hollow fiberglass pieces that will fit below the wing tip. I have seen some photographs of Velocities that have rudders that extend to the lower portion of the winglet. I have also seen some that stops at the wing bottom and the lower winglet is entirely fixed in place.
What is the community consensus on this subject?
Hiroo
