nose gear: The part of the landing gear is attached to the
nose of the fuselage. The nose gear is usually connected to the
rudder servo to help you steer the airplane on the ground.
Pitch Axis: The horizontal plane on which the airplane's
nose is raised or lowered. By moving the elevator, you can
raise the airplane's nose above the pitch axis (climb) or
lower it below the pitch axis (dive).
Pushrod: The rigid mechanism that transfers movement
from the servo to the control surface.

wings are raised or lowered. By adjusting the ailerons, you
can drop a wing tip below the roll axis and cause the airplane
to bank or roll.
Rudder: The hinged control surface on the vertical stabilizer
that controls the airplane's yaw. Moving the rudder to the
left causes the airplane to yaw left; moving the rudder to the
right causes it to yaw right.
Servo: The servo transforms your ground commands into
physical adjustments of the airplane while it's in the air.
Servo output Arm: A removable arm or wheel connecting
the servo to the pushrod (also called servo horn).
Spinner: Term describing the nose cone that covers the
propeller hub.
Threadlock: A liquid that solidifies; used to prevent screws
from loosening due to vibration.
Torque Rods: Inserted into the ailerons, these rigid wire
rods run along the wing's trailing edge, then bend downward
and connect to the pushrod.
vertical Stabilizer: The vertical flying surface of the tail
gives the airplane stability while in flight.
Wheel Collar: The round, metal retaining piece that
anchors wheels in place on the wheel axle.
Wing: The lifting surface of an airplane.
yaw Axis: The vertical plane through which the airplane's
nose rotates as it yaws to the left or to the right. The rudder
controls the yaw axis.
