For those with the facilities this is a good idea, it will last longer, it will not in fact work any better and the tail may wag a bit more but it will be fine.

I wouldn't mess with the tail area, you will find that it runs at a fair angle to the wind now and if you reduce tail area it will make it worse.

These machines are kept simple so that the majority can build them without full engineering facilities, you can improve some things if you are better equipped.
