Thrust, roll, pitch, and yaw are all control names for multirotor aircraft. Throttle, ailerons, elevator, and rudder are all control names for fixed wing aircraft, and thus are the classical names for these controls. Think about how a compass spins as you turn in a circle. Rudder (Yaw): Rudder controls the ability of an aircraft to turn flat to a different heading.Elevator (Pitch): The elevator control determines the pitch of the aircraft, for example, is the aircrafts nose pointing up towards the sky, or down towards the ground.To get a bit more grasp on this, think about your favorite fighter jet executing a barrel roll. Ailerons (Roll): Ailerons control the roll of the aircraft from side to side.

Thrust always is in line with where the propellers are facing. Throttle (Thrust): This is the amount of thrust your aircraft will generate, thus how fast your model will go.

Now when it comes to flight controls, there are some basic definitions that we need to cover really quick. Those are your gimbals, and when we talk about transmitter modes, we are just talking about those. But take a look at those two sticks, the main controls. Take a deep breath, and know that the only thing they will do, is what you tell them to do. It can be a little overwhelming at first, trying to figure out what it all does. On your transmitter, you will have all these fancy switches, knobs, and two sticks.
