Couldn't find any UAV style kits that aren't electric ARFs.

I get where your coming from, but I'm not sure the rudder is all that necessary and eliminating it would free some room for the engine on the actual predator drone, the rudder is damn near useless and really only used for runway maneuvering. A V tail has proven quite capable in replacing the traditional rudder, elevator rig......look at the f117
