I am looking at a rudder that is top to bottom. The other possibility is to use separate rudders top and bottom to affect lean. There has been lots of discussion about steering conditions but I don't think we have gotten a good handle on the physics of cornering and the additional effects of control surfaces. There are some fairly complex mathematical models for two wheel vehicles available. I will continue with experiments on bicycles first where risks of injury are lower if the unexpected happens.
