Each control surface is connected directly to the control column or rudder pedals with a series of cables and pulleys or rods. In such a control system the control column can move the control surface, but the control surface can also move the column.
ruddervators
Movable flight control surfaces combining the functions of rudders and elevators.

Rudder: A control surface on fixed-wing aircraft, usually mounted at aft end of the fuselage sticking up (like a dorsal fin), that controls yaw (heading), and is controlled by the pedals.

Rudder
The moving part of the vertical tail surface of an aeroplane which provides yaw control.

RUDDER Aircraft control surface attached to the rear of the vertical stabilizer (fin) of the aircraft tail. Forces the tail left or right, correspondingly "yawing" the aircraft right or left.
Rudder - The movable vertical control surface used to rotate the airplane about its vertical axis. The pilot operates the rudder by the movement of the foot pedals in the cockpit.
Rudder The moveable portion of the vertical tail surface. The rudder controls the airplane around the yaw axis.
Rx Abbreviation for receiver.
Seaplane An airplane that has floats, or pontoons, attached to allow it to land on water.
RUDDERVATOR / RUDDERVATORS - The control surfaces on an airplane with a V-tail configuration. They are located at the trailing edge of each of the two airfoils making up the tail of the plane.
RUDDER - The movable part of a vertical airfoil which controls the YAW of an aircraft; the fixed part being the FIN.
Rudder Bar: The foot control by which the pilot of an aeroplane controls the rudder. It is hinged about its centre and when pushed forward with the left foot yaws the nose to the left and vice versa.
Rudder
A control surface, usually installed on the trailing edge of the vertical stabilizer, which controls the yaw motion of the aircraft - that is, the motion of the nose of the aircraft left and right.
Rudder:
The rudder controls movement of the airplane about its vertical axis. This motion is yaw.
Rudder position potentiometer.
(f)
Strain gage for measuring stick force in longitudinal channel.
Rudder pedals, which control rotation of the aircraft about the yaw axis. There are two pedals that pivot so that when one is pressed forward the other moves backward, and vice versa.
Rudder Normally hinged to the fin, this vertical moving surface is for directional management and blance of the aircraft.

Rudder
I've used the all-flying vertical tail (rudder) on my STOL designs that I've used on many of my earlier designs because it provides exceptional crosswind capability.
RUDDER - Movable control surface, attached to trailing-edge of fin, to control aircraft movement in yaw.

R
rudder
A hinged, movable section of the vertical stabilizer used to control the aircraft's yaw. Also used as a verb, meaning to angle the rudder in a particular direction ...
Set the rudder trim. If the helicopter is spinning slightly to the left, push the rudder trim switch to the right. If the helicopter is spinning to the right, push the rudder trim switch to the left.
Testing rudder post and landing gear.
Just ahead of the rudder a vertical stabilizer fin is installed.
If water rudders are installed, the should be inspected for free and proper movement. It is important to check each compartment of the floats or hull for any accumulation of water before flight.
In the air, rudder is valuable for "yawing" the aircraft (rotating it on its vertical axis; also called the yaw axis) to a slightly different heading. As a general rule, use a few strokes of rudder for a heading change of 30 degrees or less.
I crank some turns. Rudder is effective, but you don't need much, unlike the CTLS, which is more of a rudder airplane in climbs, turns and landings. I catch myself overstomping the rudder a bit, and lighten up.
Darkness descending: time to land.
-The small vertical fixed plane in front of the rudder.
11. Rudder.-The hinged surface used to control the direction of the aircraft in the horizontal plane. As with a boat, for steering or "yawing" or changing its direction of travel.

Rudder: Control surface on vertical tail unit of aircraft to control its Yaw.

Vertical stabilizer gets swept back 35 degrees, decreasing rudder authority slightly. Increased rudder authority was regained in 1975 when the rudder was enlarged.
1968. Flap system redesigned to allow hands-off retraction.
1969.
To engage a smooth, coordinated turn in which the fuselage is in line with the flight path, the pilot uses an aircraft's rudder in conjunction with the ailerons. This is done to compensate for the adverse yaw that results from the use of ailerons.
Yaw Damper: The yaw damper is a servo that moves the rudder in response to inputs from a gyroscope or accelerometer that detects yaw rate. The yaw damper minimizes motion about the vertical axis caused by turbulence.
At the wing drop the only correct action is to apply opposite rudder to stop the yaw/rolling motion and then push the stick/yoke forward to reduce the angle of attack of the wings. Both actions can be applied at the same time.
In 1876, Penaud patented a design for a large amphibious aircraft with such innovative features as retractable wheels, a glass-enclosed cockpit, a single-lever control for both the rudders and the elevators (the first "joy stick"), ...
the propeller - or in this case more properly, tractor - and the steersman began to manipulate the rudder, the balloon turned its head to the wind and - remained stationary.
The angle of attack of the tail rotor is controlled by the pilot's anti-torque pedals (they're not "rudder pedals" in a helicopter). The pedals are typically connected to the pitch change mechanism by either push pull tubes, or by cables.
Examples of controls are: rudder pedals that control the rudders and cause the airplane to yaw; throttles that control the engines which generate thrust for the airplane; ...
Directional control, provided by a rudder, can become nonexistent at low airspeed and low propeller thrust. For example, the Air & Space 18A gyroplane rudder rapidly loses effectiveness below 50 mph airspeed when the engine is throttled back.
Stabilators Stabilators are control surfaces which provide both horizontal stability and pitch control for the aircraft.
Rudder A Rudder is a control surface connected to the vertical stabilizer and used to yaw the aircraft.
Check for free movement and security of elevator and rudder. Ensure balance weights are secure.
Check antennae.
Inspect right flap. Check sliders and security of flap, there should be only slight movement possible.
One wing may drop faster than the other (slight asymmetry in wing construction, or too little use of the rudder, or gusty weather).
Any surface such as an airplane wing, aileron, or rudder designed to obtain a useful reaction from the air moving past it.
Airworthiness ...
It simply produced lift, and aircraft control was by the normal rudder and elevator controls. The rotor was unpowered, and simply spun like a pinwheel due to the relative wind blowing through the rotor system. This is called autorotation.
SAIL BACK- A maneuver during high wind conditions (usually with power off) where float plane movement is controlled by water rudders/opening and closing cabin doors.
