    Bigger control surfaces

    To make anything (ships, cars, planes, people, anything) more agile, reduce weight.

    Turning is the result of "leverage", which you can look up on wikipedia. Basically, in SP if the control surface (the flappy bits) is bigger and far away from the center of lift and center of mass, it will have better leverage. Modern jet fighters have such big control surfaces that the entire tail pieces move like this

    Low wing load. 20 lbs or less per square foot.
