Gator RC Adjustable Horizontal Stab Kit – 11mm Carbon Fiber Tube System
The Gator RC Adjustable Horizontal Stab Kit is a lightweight and precise stabilizer mounting system designed for RC aircraft requiring accurate horizontal stabilizer alignment and incidence adjustment.
This complete system includes an 11mm carbon fiber stabilizer tube, matching fiberglass socket sleeve, adjustable stab brackets, mounting hardware, and installation components for creating a removable and adjustable stabilizer system.
Compared to traditional aluminum tube and phenolic socket systems, this lightweight carbon fiber setup saves approximately .4 oz (11.3g) while maintaining excellent rigidity and structural support.
Specifications
- Tube Diameter: 11mm (.433")
- Length: 305mm (12")
- Outer Sleeve Diameter: 11.9mm (.467")
- Total Tube & Socket Weight: .75 oz (21g)
- Material: Carbon Fiber Tube with Fiberglass Socket
- SKU: GS1011
Complete Adjustable Stabilizer System
Unlike fixed stabilizer tube systems, the Gator RC adjustable setup allows fine tuning of horizontal stabilizer incidence during aircraft setup and trimming.
This style of system is commonly used in:
- Pattern aircraft
- Precision aerobatic airplanes
- Competition aircraft
- Custom RC airplane projects
- Prototype aircraft setups
- Aircraft requiring removable stabilizers
Lightweight Carbon Fiber Construction
The included carbon fiber tube provides excellent rigidity while minimizing tail weight. Reducing weight in the tail section helps improve aircraft balance, responsiveness, and overall flight performance.
- Excellent strength-to-weight ratio
- Improved rigidity compared to lightweight aluminum systems
- Reduced tail weight
- Corrosion resistant
- Ideal for precision aircraft setups
- Designed for removable stabilizer systems
Adjustable Incidence Capability
The included adjustable bracket system allows stabilizer incidence adjustments during setup and trimming. This makes it easier to fine tune aircraft tracking and flight characteristics without structural modifications.
Proper stabilizer alignment is critical for:
- Straight tracking flight
- Consistent aerobatic performance
- Reducing trim changes
- Precision maneuvers
- Competition-style aircraft tuning
What’s Included
- 11mm Carbon Fiber Stabilizer Tube
- Fiberglass Socket Sleeve
- Adjustable Stab Brackets
- Aluminum Mounting Rod
- Complete Installation Hardware
- Instruction Sheet
Installation Notes
The aluminum rod mounts inside the fuselage and works together with the adjustable bracket system to allow incidence tuning and stabilizer alignment adjustments.
Always verify both stabilizer halves are aligned before final tightening. Even small alignment errors can affect trim, tracking, and overall flight performance.
Ideal Applications
- Pattern airplanes
- Sport aerobatic aircraft
- Custom aircraft builds
- Precision RC aircraft
- Removable stab systems
- Aircraft requiring incidence adjustment
Modeler’s Tip
Adjustable stabilizer systems are especially useful during maiden flights and prototype tuning where stabilizer incidence changes may be required to optimize flight characteristics.
