Flight Controls and StabilityAirplane Flight:X-Plane in the Classroom
StabilityControl
Pitch - nose moves up and down
ControlPitch - nose moves up and downYaw – nose moves left and right
Stability
ControlPitch - nose moves up and downYaw – nose moves left and rightRoll – airplane rolls along the nose to tail axis
Stability
