Stabilizer
The center of gravity has a wing chord (width) of this for a nose dive
The center of gravity has a wing chord (width) of this for a straight flight
The center of gravity has a wing chord (width) of this for a pop up
Center of Gravity
Yaw Picture
Fuselage
Too much upward lift in this picture where the center of gravity is shown balancing on a finger
Horizontal stabilizer does NOT control this
A straight flight is shown in this picture where the center of gravity is shown balancing on a finger
Point at which a glider rotates around. The balance point of the glider.
Pitch and roll
Yaw
A larger horizontal stabilizer catches air to prevent yaw & roll, but too large causes the center of gravity to shift to the tail.
