It's not a dumb question Ken. It's the part of the fuse from the canopy to the empennage (the tail feathers). The dazzler has a turtle deck (rounded top of the fuse), the uproar doesn't. It employs a simple box or square shaped fuse. I doubt seriously if it really effects the aerodynamics. Certainly not enough to tell. The uproar is currently retailing at $45, but they sometimes run it on sale for $5 less. Shipping on it was right at $5 if I remember right. The Dazzler is more; I think it's about $55 or $60. Both can be viewed and compared at www.towerhobbies.com. You can see the turtle deck on the dazzler. It looks better than the uproar, but is it worth paying for? Not to me.
