1. I don't think the drafting of these two regulations achieves the intentions of the rationalle:
Under 4.2.2.f, The "secondary control" functions allow for, among other things, the "control of

Unfortunately Bill, increasing the power can also change the pitch of a model. The Rabe rudder affects the yaw of a model and could be described as automatic in that it is not driven by th

As I understand the Rabe Rudder, it is mechanically connected to the other aerodynamic controls, and is, hence, directly/mechanically contro

Am I missing something"
No Bill, you aren't missing anythin

I think the word >>>Automatic<<< is not right on this place. I think elevator deflects itself >>>automatically<<< as hand is moved and it is OK I think. In my eyes, we should allow all automatic tricky devices like flaps deflected with elevator, landing flaps with stopped engine, or

all aerodynamic controls of the flight path(rudder, elevator, flaps, spoilers, etc) must be driven by
a mechanical connection to the flying lines connected to the pilot's control handle.
