Seeing as how she was famous I would assume she would keep her maiden name.

Technically, she'd be Ella Skywalker, but then that kinda ruins the joke....

Ladies and gentlemen thanks for all your answers even the jokes at the end. As I thought and from all your replies it is than more likely that right stick being called the elevator is a throwback to fixed wing flyers taking up heli's.

Just an additional mention , I just hovered my 450 out in my backyard for the first time ever. yippee. So far I've only tried hovering in my garage but out- doors seemed easier. Does that make me an RC heli pilot? lol

Thanks
Peter

Planks have aileron, elevator and rudder

We have roll, nick and tail - plus pitch.

What's the problem?

Cheers
Erik

PS: If you are flying the helicopter, you are a helicopter pilot.
If the helicopter decides where it wants to go, you're not.
Congrats - let the addiction take hold....
