Which is what would happen. Any control surface falling off is a
death sentence. Besides, the rudder is part of the vertical surface contributing to lateral stability. The airplane would be inclined to fly sideways without the rudder. Some aircraft, like my Jodel and many of the Zenair airplanes, have no fixed vertical surface and rely almost entirely on the rudder for stability. Dan
