I recently started using a Balz 799 899 999 cmbo with 903 fuselage and 399 stab shimmed to 1,5 degrees (dont know if that's optimal, but it works for me on the 2 smaller ones while the 999 I think needs more, but havn't tried it yet).

what change can you get from other types of Sab stabs , smaller, larger, anhedral, dihedral, flat, you name it. I don't intend to buy many to try them all out bit just curious what the pro's and con's and general characteristics are of each one, in the real world? I do flatwater freeride and eventually will try small waves. So not a slalom type.

In this video you have a basic explanation of how the shape of the stabilizers affects their performance.
