It will make a huge difference in the yaw department. I still have to use an extra spring to correct for the right roll. I am thinking about building another tail with a good amount of twist in it to cancel the roll torque.
 
here's the next stage on the tail, fabric on , reforcing tape on the ribs, 2 coats of primer on her. tring to teach myself the knots for the rib stiching thats next to do.
