    TAKE NOTE: stabilator and horizontal stabilizer are two different mechanisms.

Direct rotor control requires an interface with control rods or torque tube. Dynamic trim from a pilot controlled airfoil provided a simplistic alternative to a computer and sensors.
Rotor Stabilator, trims rotor motion in steady level, climb, and descent flight. Air passing over the stabilator counteracts minor rotor pitch movements and keeps the aircraft flying straight and smooth.
Stabilator operates with a double throw switch or with the optional four directional switches mounted on the control stick. These switches increase or decrease the electrically driven ram length. As the ram changes in length, the Rotor Stabilator angle changes with respect to the relative airflow.*1
