Stabilators are really cool but I find them difficult to make well with my resources. This design is meant to be a simple approximation of a stabilator that should be viable for a lot of RC hobbyists out there.
Note: When I talk about how it takes less effort to keep a stabilator in a certain position, it essentially refers to the fact that changing the stabilator's angle is very easy. Smaller aircraft that use stabilators actually have an "anti-servo tab" which reduces the sensitivity of the stabilator and makes it harder for a pilot to overcontrol the aircraft [1].
