aileron:

 The aileron is hinged to the wing and pivots up and down to make the P-40 Warhawk EP RR turn right and left. 

Battery cover:

 The battery cover allows quick and easy access to the Li-Po battery.

elevator:

 The elevator is hinged to the horizontal stabiliser and pivots up and down to make the P-40 Warhawk EP RR climb and descend.

fuselage:

 The main body of the P-40 Warhawk EP RR. All of the major airframe assemblies are attached to the fuselage.The fuselage 

houses the elevator and rudder servos, the motor, the electronic speed controller (ESC), and your receiver.

Horizontal stabiliser:

 The horizontal stabiliser provides vertical stability for the P-40 Warhawk EP RR during flight.

Landing Gear:

 The landing gear is retractable for more scale looks and improved flight characteristics. The landing gear features 

prebent coiled wire for strength, and lightweight foam wheels. The landing gear supports the P-40 Warhawk EP RR while on the ground 
and allows you to take off and land from hard surfaces.

Motor:

 The P-40 Warhawk EP RR features a Brushless motor for superior power and efficiency.

propeller:

 The propeller is attached to the motor. When spinning, the propeller creates thrust which pulls the P-40 Warhawk EP RR forward.

pushrod assembly:

 The pushrod assembly consists of a pushrod, clevis and control horn. Each pushrod assembly connects the servos 

to the ailerons, elevator, rudder and landing gear. The clevises are adjustable to allow fine-tuned adjustments to the control surfaces.

servo:

 The servo is powered by the Li-Po battery installed in the P-40 Warhawk EP RR. The servos move the control surfaces to control 

the aircraft. The P-40 Warhawk EP RR features five servos which control the ailerons, elevator, rudder and landing gear.

tail Wheel:

 The tail wheel supports the back of the P-40 Warhawk EP RR and moves right and left with the rudder which allows you to 

steer the P-40 Warhawk EP RR on the ground.

Vertical fin:

 The vertical fin provides lateral stability for the P-40 Warhawk EP RR during flight.

Wing:

 The wing has a special airfoil shape and provides the main source of lift for the P-40 Warhawk EP RR.
