Contexto
Most helicopters have a horizontal stabilizer mounted on the tail boom and some have a stabilizer mounted on the vertical fin. In some cases it is fixed, and in others it is connected to the flight controls and controlled by either the cyclic or collective and some are controlled automatically by speed sensing in the automatic flight control system (AFCS).
