Gator RC Adjustable Horizontal Stab Kit – 7/16" Carbon Fiber Tube System

Gator RC Adjustable Horizontal Stab Kit – 7/16" Carbon Fiber Tube System

The Gator RC GS1010 Adjustable Horizontal Stab Kit is a lightweight and highly adjustable stabilizer mounting system designed for RC airplanes requiring precise horizontal stabilizer alignment and incidence adjustment.

This complete system includes a lightweight carbon fiber tube, matching fiberglass socket, stab adjustment hardware, aluminum mounting rod, and installation hardware. Compared to older aluminum tube and phenolic socket systems, this carbon fiber setup saves approximately .4 oz (11.3g) while maintaining excellent rigidity and strength.

Complete Adjustable Stabilizer System

Unlike standard stabilizer tubes, the GS1010 includes an adjustable stab mounting system that allows fine tuning of stabilizer incidence during aircraft setup and trimming.

This type of system is commonly used in:

• Pattern aircraft
• Precision aerobatic airplanes
• Competition aircraft
• Custom RC airplane builds
• Prototype aircraft
• Scale aircraft requiring incidence adjustment

Why Adjustable Stabilizer Systems Matter

Being able to adjust stabilizer incidence allows pilots to fine tune flight characteristics without major structural modifications.

• Improves trim adjustment capability
• Helps optimize tracking performance
• Useful during prototype setup
• Allows precise stabilizer alignment
• Reduces the need for excessive radio trim
• Ideal for precision aerobatic flying

Lightweight Carbon Fiber Construction

The included carbon fiber stabilizer tube provides excellent rigidity while minimizing tail weight. Reducing weight at the tail section helps improve overall aircraft balance and responsiveness.

Compared to traditional aluminum and phenolic systems, the GS1010 saves approximately .4 oz (11.3g).

What’s Included

• Carbon fiber stabilizer tube
• Fiberglass socket sleeve
• Adjustable stab brackets
• Aluminum mounting rod
• All installation hardware
• Instruction sheet

Installation Notes

The aluminum rod is mounted inside the fuselage and works with the included adjustable bracket system to allow stabilizer incidence tuning.

Always verify stabilizer alignment before final tightening. Small alignment errors can significantly affect trim and flight tracking.

Best Applications

• Pattern airplanes
• Sport aerobatic aircraft
• Precision RC airplanes
• Custom aircraft builds
• Aircraft requiring removable stabilizers
• Competition-style setups

Modeler’s Tip

Adjustable stab systems are especially useful during maiden flights and prototype setups where incidence changes may be required to optimize flight characteristics.
