It's not the g-force acting on the rudder, it's the air pressure and it is a WHOLE LOT MORE than you would ever believe!! The g-force does act on the front of the fuselage where the battery is trying to sling to the outside of the circle.

I don't mean to but in here but I am right handed and I launch my bug side arm (disc launch) with my right hand. That slings the force to the right of the plane, so, if I wanted the tail g-force to go in the direction of the boom, I would have to mount it on the left. Right?
