[TheForge] Safety -- Turning Things Off

[Jerry Frost]

Aileron.

The rudder controls yaw, ailerons control roll and 
engine torque causes roll.

Things were FAR harder in radial engine aricraft. They 
had so much gyroscopic force from the engine all 
control actions were through 90*. Pull back on the 
stick and turn left, push forward and turn right.

Killed a lot of pilots taking off, some just taxiing.
