even at clarifying elementary stuff

Some more Qs, if you don't mind.

This is not technically an answer to your questions, but I may be able
to answer all of them at once. :-) Go look on ebay.com for some books
on flying. People who have finsihed their training are selling them
all the time for dirt cheap prices. I managed to pick up an outdated
copy of the Jeppesen Private Pilot textbook for $5. This book would
answer every one of your questions, and more, with much more detail
and better pictures than you are likely to find on this newsgroup or
on the web.

You probably don't want an outdated textbook to work from if you are
currently studying for a license, but if you are merely curious, want
more information for playing with flight simulators, or may be
studying flying at some undetermined point in the future when you have
more cash (like me) then it is perfect.
