Adjustable stabilizer. A stabilizer that can be adjusted in flight to trim the airplane, thereby allowing the airplane to fly hands-off at any given airspeed.

Stabilizer
The rectangular stabilizer consists of ribs and duralumin skin. The stabilizer is attached to the fuselage by shifting on two pins in the front part and is secured by two bolts in the rear part.
Elevator ...
Stabilizer: A control surface, usually mounted at aft end of the fuselage parallel to the wings, that provides pitch stability, some aircraft have an adjustable stabilizer.

Stabilizer A surface which increases the stability of a model. Most aircraft have two stabilizers, the horizontal (stab) and vertical (fin), which are mounted on the tail.
STABILIZER - The fixed part of a horizontal airfoil that controls the pitch of an aircraft; the movable part being the ELEVATOR.
vertical stabilizer - The large "tail" surface normally found on top of the rear of the fuselage. The rudder is usually installed at the trailing edge of the vertical stabilizer.
Horizontal Stabilizer
The small wings at the rear of an aircraft's fuselage that balance the lift forces generated by the main wings farther forward on the fuselage. The stabilizer also usually contains the elevator.

TAILPLANE (STABILIZER) - Primary horizontal airfoil surface of tail unit. Can be fixed, or may have variable incidence, and its purpose is to provide longitudinal stability.
...
For trim, a stabilizer may be hinged at its trailing edge, forward of the elevator and adjustably jacked a few degrees in incidence either up or down.
Trimmable Stabilizer
A horizontal stabilizer that can be pitched to trim the elevator.
Adjustable stabilizer - a kind of horizontal stabilizer that can be adjusted in flight to trim the airplane, thereby allowing the airplane to fly hands-off at any given airspeed.
Horizontal Stabilizer
The horizontal tail surface at the back of the fuselage (more commonly called an elevator) which provides aerodynamic pitch stability to the airplane.

Horizontal Stabilizer or Horizontal Fin.-The horizontal fixed tail plane.
10. Vertical Stabilizer or Vertical Fin.-The small vertical fixed plane in front of the rudder.
11. Rudder.
Vertical stabilizer gets swept back 35 degrees, decreasing rudder authority slightly. Increased rudder authority was regained in 1975 when the rudder was enlarged.
1968. Flap system redesigned to allow hands-off retraction.
1969.
This changes the lift curve of the stabilizer in ways that are hard for designers to predict. Further, any change in the downwash pattern can move the angle of attack to a new equilibrium point.
After spraying the underneath side of the airplane you then should spray the vertical stabilizer, the top of the tail surfaces, the top of the fuselage, and then the top of the wings. It is more difficult to paint the airplane when it is assembled.
Take a good look at the underside of the stabilizer and elevator. Make sure to inspect the hinges for any extra movement or unusual play.
Therefore, an aircraft's wings, horizontal stabilizers, vertical stabilizers, propellers, fans, compressors, and turbines are all considered airfoils.
The rudder is a large panel attached to the trailing edge of a plane's vertical stabilizer in the rear of the plane. It is used to control yaw, which is the movement of the nose left or right.
Elevators Elevators are control surfaces connected to the horizontal stabilizer and are used to pitch the aircraft.
Stabilators Stabilators are control surfaces which provide both horizontal stability and pitch control for the aircraft.
In February 1918, Gothaer tested a compound tail unit with biplane horizontal stabilizers and twin rudders. The new tail unit, known as the Kastensteuerung, allowed the G.V to fly in a straight line with a single engine at full power.
The near edge of the wider portion of the barrier island will come into view to the right of your horizontal stabilizer.
They are hinged to a fixed surface--the horizontal stabilizer. Together, the horizontal stabilizer and the elevators form a single airfoil. A change in position of the elevators modifies the camber of the airfoil, which increases or decreases lift.
Insert the main axle through the center hole in the stabilizer set, positioning it between the central hub set. Secure the stabilizer by tightening the mounting screw. Snap the control link onto the main blade grip set.

RUDDER Aircraft control surface attached to the rear of the vertical stabilizer (fin) of the aircraft tail. Forces the tail left or right, correspondingly "yawing" the aircraft right or left.
The vertical stabilizer was reconfigured and enlarged slightly, and a ventral fin was added beneath the tail. The trim tab on the right elevator also received a gurney device: a small, wedge-shaped, metal tab attached to the trailing edge.
There are lots of good reasons for going ahead and writing the check for the part, whether it's a stabilizer or a pre-punched instrument panel. It doesn't make any difference what the part is.
CONTROL SYSTEMS
The control systems include the ailerons, flaps, fin, rudder, stabilizers and elevators. They are all constructed of tublar steel the steel channel ribs.
Elevator - A small control surface hinged to the rear of the horizontal stabilizer and used to tilt an airplane up or down.
encal - Encoding Altimeter
Encoder - Displays aircraft's altitiude on ground-based radar screens.
It has a gyro-stabilized camera in the nose, plus a lipstick camera pointed at the pilot, plus a lipstick camera mounted back on the horizontal stabilizer looking forward along the aircraft.
This is achieved first with an inverted stabilizer airfoil, and secondly with a virtual venturi.
