What's that rudder for, anyways? We all know the folks in the RC airplane community who only use their rudder for taxiing and never fly in a crosswind. We'd love to change that mindset and hope this video helps folks with their directional control about the yaw axis in order to prevent an RC crash. Let's forward slip while flying RC planes and take a look at what the folks mean when they talk about things like; side slips to landing, forward slips, cross control, and many other fun topics such as aerobatics/3D flying that incorporate the rudder. We hope this RC Rudder 101 video is helpful for everyone learning how to fly RC!

Our educational videos are written and narrated by Zach - our full-scale professional pilot & instructor who brings both his real-world and RC experience into our videos. This script was also reviewed and given two thumbs up by many fellow full scale and RC pilots, as well as an FAA designated examiner and some aerospace engineers. We hope you found it fun and informational and learned from it as well! 😁
