Well if you believe Alan Szabo and crew when you give "hard tail" plastic will bend then snap back to it original shape and CF will not. You will notice a difference ;)

I have more control of the tail.
the plastic, well, I dont know if they bend, but I have more surface area with these.

Carbons are stiffer so your tail isnt mushy. The result is you can actually run less gyro gain.
