Quality construction ensures the control surface remains perfectly aligned and responsive to your elevator inputs.
- Quick Installation — The pre-assembled stabilizer with tube integrates directly into your Timber airframe, allowing faster repairs and less time spent on the workbench and more time enjoying the air.

Technical Performance
The EFL Horizontal Stabilizer with Tube is engineered using E-flite's proven design and manufacturing standards. This component is constructed to deliver stable, responsive pitch control throughout normal flight operations of the Turbo Timber 1.5m. The horizontal stabilizer works in conjunction with your elevator servo to control pitch attitude, making it essential for maintaining stable, predictable aircraft behaviour during all phases of flight. The inclusion of the tube assembly ensures proper structural integration with your fuselage, eliminating alignment issues that could compromise control response or introduce unwanted aerodynamic drag. E-flite's materials and construction techniques ensure the stabilizer remains perfectly rigid during flight whilst remaining light enough to maintain the aircraft's intended weight and balance characteristics. For RC enthusiasts maintaining their own aircraft, this is the quality spare part you need for reliable repairs and continued enjoyment of your Turbo Timber 1.5m. The assembly is designed to last through years of flying when properly installed and maintained, making it an excellent investment in your aircraft's long-term performance and airworthiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the EFL Horizontal Stabilizer with Tube compatible with all Timber models? — This part is specifically designed for the E-flite Turbo Timber 1.5m. We strongly recommend matching the part number to your model's manual or product code to ensure compatibility, as E-flite has produced several variants of the Timber aircraft family. Using the correct part number guarantees perfect fit and performance.
- What does the horizontal stabilizer do on an RC aircraft? — The horizontal stabilizer is the tail surface that controls pitch stability and elevator control. It works with your elevator servo to adjust the aircraft's nose-up or nose-down attitude, allowing you to control climb, descent and level flight. A properly functioning stabilizer is essential for stable, predictable flying characteristics.
- How difficult is it to replace the horizontal stabilizer on my Timber? — The horizontal stabilizer assembly is one of the more straightforward airframe components to replace. The included tube makes installation straightforward, and the part connects directly to your fuselage. However, we recommend consulting your aircraft manual for detailed installation instructions. If you're new to RC aircraft repair, our knowledgeable team at RC Model Shop is happy to provide guidance on fitment and installation techniques.
- Can I use a horizontal stabilizer from a different aircraft model? — No, you should only use E-flite parts specifically designed for the Turbo Timber 1.5m. Using parts from other models, even other Timber variants, can result in poor fit, misalignment and compromised flight characteristics. Always match the part number to your aircraft model as shown in your manual.
- What if I damage my horizontal stabilizer during flight? — Minor dings and dents may not require replacement if they don't affect the control surface's structural integrity or aerodynamic shape. However, cracks, splits, breaks or severe warping should be addressed by replacement. If you're uncertain whether your stabilizer needs replacing, our team can provide expert advice based on your specific situation.
- Why should I buy this from RC Model Shop rather than other retailers? — RC Model Shop is an authorised dealer for E-flite and stocks genuine original parts with reliable UK supply. We maintain large stocks for fast dispatch and offer next working day delivery options, getting your aircraft back in the air sooner.
