Yes, you can fly without a vertical stabilizer.

Contrary to what a lot would think, if your vertical stabilizer gets shot off, you CAN still manage to fly with a surprising amount of control. How? Simple! Adverse yaw! I don't know how to make videos, so instead I'm posting two links to download these two AH film files. Enjoy!

Too many variables in real life. Agreed. But in this game where there's absolutely no wind or updrafts... piece of cake!
