What does the horizontal stabilizer control?
The stabilizer is a fixed wing section whose job is to provide stability for the aircraft, to keep it flying straight. The horizontal stabilizer prevents up-and-down, or pitching, motion of the aircraft nose. The elevator is used to control the position of the nose of the aircraft and the angle of attack of the wing.
