Throttle is altitude. Elevator is speed. With this simplistic set of explanations everything else should make sense.
Actually, throttle is distance. If you want to extend your landing approach, tap in a few clicks of throttle. Nurse it down with taps of elevator to get the nose up a tad bit to slow things down a bit. But, as once told, don't get the nose up high enough so you can see the bottom of the aircraft.

Thanks but distance IS just 'horizontal' altitude. You are trading the effects of gravity with throttle. Flying horizontally is just staying in altitude relevant equilibrium. You say banana I say banana! Cheers!
