Michael; For helicopters the fourth axis (probably more appropriately called control) is "collective". It's used to control the pitch of the main rotor blades, usually from about a positive 20 degrees to a negative 10 degrees. The throttle is normally slaved to the collective control with

This is confusing. I see it as: 3 axis's. The plane can move in any of the axis's. It can also rotate around any of the axis's. Movement and rotation. Or, translation and rotation. Whatever, I see it as 6 degrees of freedom on 3 axis's. I think this applies best to the freestyle helicopter

Good reason for smaller span in a moldy or glass bagged. Guys have found that the composite ships tip weight makes a difference when it comes to just using Rudder for roll. The smaller span should take some of that mass moment out of the equation and add some serious value when it comes to the

Depends on who is defining the axes. In the inertial guidance systems world people commonly talk about a 6 axis inertial measurement unit. Roll, pitch, and yaw gyros to measure rotational rates, and x, y and z axis accelerometers to measure accelerations. You need them all to figure out where
