RE: stablizer height
Are you lowering things to make it more scale? The plane wing position/airfoil/incedence all have a bearing on the stab and its position. I would guess though, if your building a scale plane and your flying is scale (not aerobatic) you won't notice much of a difference.

RE: stablizer height
The only real effect would be that the stab might be closer to the wing turbulence in flight. This is considered when designers fix the stab vertical location. But I can't imagine that 1/4" would get you in trouble.
