the center rudder is fine, and it fits on the the center propeller, but i found the kits rudders were not going to cope, so using graupners small rudder, which was still to big it would foul the middle rudder, so that why i cut it, but not to the same size as the kits, about 10 to 15 % bigger, so now it turns in the bath, as i am only using a 2 channel radio, forward and reverse, the real boat can use it engines to steer at low revs, we use the rudders, i see if have any photos of the rudder lay out, and for people making this as an r/c model as you build it, check you joins, around the front and main deck , torpedo doors and the skullcap bridge any gap when its on the water, if you can were theres space, silcone some foam etc, anything from food or electrical package, it the worse does happen. she should say afloat, and as its feezing on our lake in england this time of year, hope this helps a little
its hard to be humble when your perfect in every way
