Thanks to both of you for the help. It would have been "real" interesting
if I hadn't asked!

That way of looking at it which Jim used is the easiest:
- for rudder think of the surfaces as if both were rotated to
vertical...
- for elevator rotate them to horizontal.
Anyay, using that up/down parlance, right rudder means left goes up
and right goes down, opposite from what you wrote, Cliff.

This is probably pretty basic, but I can't find any verification. If
I'm viewing the Bug from behind, how should the elevators move for a
right turn. Left elevator goes down & right goes up?
Thanks,
