Try reading this on the forces that act on an airplane - [link=http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/forces.html]http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/forces.html[/link]

Then read this one on airliner control surfaces - [link=http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/airplane.html]http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/airplane.html[/link]

Seems like RC planes regularly use many control techniques (including computerized mixing) that are rare or not used at all in full size aviation. But if you understand the basics of how full size aircraft fly it is much easier to understand the RC applications.
