The FlightRudder is typically mounted on the trailing edge of the vertical stabilizer, part of the empennage. When the pilot pushes the left pedal, the rudder deflects left. Pushing the right pedal causes the rudder to deflect right. Deflecting the rudder right pushes the tail left and causes the nose to yaw to the right. Centering the rudder pedals returns the rudder to neutral and stops the yaw.[Wikipedia]

flight control surface |
Flight control surfaces are aerodynamic devices allowing a pilot to adjust and control the aircraft's flight attitude.The primary function of these is to control the aircraft's movement along the three axes of rotation. A conventional fixed-wing aircraft uses three primary flight control surfaces – aileron, rudder and elevator to control the roll, yaw, and pitch respectively. Secondary flight control surfaces might include spoiler, flaps, and slats on the wings.[Wikipedia]
