Elevator (Maneuver)
R/C Term
The Elevator is a maneuver in which the aircraft is
made to stall completely with a large amount of
elevator throw. The aircraft will descend almost
vertically much like an elev
ator. To perform the
Elevator, make sure that you have sufficient altitude,
dive the aircraft vertically toward the ground and
pull full up on the elevator stick.
Elevator (Control Surface)
R/C Term
Hinged control surface located at the trailing edge
of the horizontal stabilizer, which provides control
of the airplane about the pitch axis and causes the
airplane to climb or dive. The correct direction of
control is to pull the transmitter Elevator control
stick back, toward the bottom of the transmitter, to
move the Elevator upward, which causes the
airplane to climb. Move the Elevator in the other
direction to dive.
Endpoint Adjustment
R/C Term
This radio feature adjusts the length of servo travel
in one direction (a single channel will have
adjustments
for two endpoints). For example, if
your aircraft rolls faster one way than the other,
endpoint adjustments can correct the problem.

R/C Term
A feature commonly found on computer radios that
desensitizes the servo when the sticks are close to
the neutral position. The further the stick’s position
from center, the faster the control response.
