Is my plane even good, also, how do I use yaw correctly and make it a contributing feature?

Is my K.51 Korenfir even that good?

Also, how do I use yaw correctly, like, make it turn instead of marking your plane just turn from side to side and then go straight again?

    @rexzion What @edensk said is correct. If you look at a missile you will notice fins halfway along its length, these provide a pivot-point for the control fins in the rear to rotate the missile.

    @rexzion just put a wing vertically inside the fuselage, at the position of the wings

    @edensk yeah I know yaw doesn't turn the plane but I still want yaw to be able to do something besides jiggle the plane side to side

    @rexzion same way as wings help elevators pitch the plane

    You don't use yaw to turn an airplane in flight. It's used for more subtle purposes that are difficult to explain briefly, like keeping the plane flying straight in a crosswind or reducing the amount of roll in a slow turn.

    hide a small wing vertically inside the fuselage to simulate the lift produced by the fuselage. irl rudders don't make the plane turn that much either though
