If you seek a more manoeuvrable ride what are the pros and cons of a shorter fuse versus a smaller stab. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Smaller stab size gives less drag and less down force.
Shorter fuse gives more yaw and pitch sensitivity, so increased manoeuvrability

Longer fuse adds pitch stability and pump projection at the expense of a wider turn radius.

Wider tail adds roll stability, more locked in roll axis but more forgiving to foot position errors.

i went with both shorter fuses and smaller stabs... from 64cm to 56/58 and from 400rear to 350/275p (axis)... loving the increased pitch sensitivity, tighter turns, faster feel, better roll, etc...
