Gator RC Carbon Fiber Stab Tube with Sleeve 11mm x 305mm

Gator RC 11mm (.43") Carbon Fiber Horizontal Stab Tube & Sleeve – GS1009

The Gator RC GS1009 Carbon Fiber Horizontal Stab Tube & Sleeve is a lightweight and durable stabilizer tube system designed for RC airplane tail assemblies. Built using a carbon fiber inner tube and matching fiberglass sleeve, this setup provides excellent rigidity, alignment, and lightweight performance for sport, scale, aerobatic, and custom RC aircraft.

This matched tube and sleeve system is ideal for removable horizontal stabilizer installations, replacement applications, and scratch-built aircraft requiring a compact and lightweight stabilizer joiner system.

Designed for Horizontal Stabilizer Applications

This stab tube and sleeve system is specifically designed for horizontal stabilizer mounting systems commonly found in:

• Sport RC airplanes
• Scale aircraft
• Lightweight aerobatic airplanes
• ARF tail assemblies
• Custom RC aircraft builds
• Replacement stabilizer tube systems

The compact 11mm diameter makes this tube ideal for smaller and lightweight tail sections where strength and weight savings are equally important.

Carbon Fiber Strength with Lightweight Performance

Carbon fiber offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio compared to traditional metal joiners. Using a carbon fiber stabilizer tube helps reduce tail weight while maintaining rigidity and proper stabilizer alignment.

• Lightweight construction
• Excellent rigidity
• Reduced flex under load
• Corrosion resistant
• Ideal for precision flying aircraft
• Helps maintain proper aircraft balance

Fiberglass Sleeve Included

This set includes both the carbon fiber inner tube and the matching fiberglass outer sleeve. The matched sleeve ensures proper fit and alignment during installation.

Using a properly matched stabilizer sleeve helps reduce slop and improves stabilizer support during aggressive maneuvers and high-speed flight.

Perfect for Repairs and Custom Builds

The GS1009 stabilizer tube set works well for:

• Replacing damaged stabilizer tubes
• Scratch-built aircraft projects
• ARF airplane repairs
• Custom tail systems
• Lightweight structural support applications

Modeler’s Tip

Always dry-fit the stabilizer halves before final installation. Even slight misalignment in the horizontal stabilizer can affect trim, tracking, and overall flight performance.
