Rudder (Controlled by foot pedals)
Controls the left to right movement of the aircraft in the vertical axis. It co-ordinates the aircraft in a turn.
Elevator (Push or pull on yoke or stick)
Controls the nose up or nose down attitude in the lateral axis.(Along the wing) Nose up to climb with power, nose down without power descends. In straight and level flight you trim the elevators for level flight.
Ailerons(Left to right on the yoke or stick)
These roll the aircraft in the longitudinal axis.(Front to back).It banks the aircraft in the direction of turn.
Flaps(seperate control from Yoke or stick)
Decrease stall speed
They are used to make a steep approach without an increase in speed and forward visibility is better.
Take off run is shortened.
Combining these movements allows control or in my case out of control flight.
I am an Aerobatic pilot.

rudder - moves the airplane left or right in a lateral (side to side) motion, also called YAW.
Ailerons - bank the airplane to the left or right, also called ROLL
Elevator, raises or lowers the nose of the aircraft to increase/decrease altitude, also called PITCH.
flaps increase lift to get a shorter takeoff roll and help land the aircraft by reducing it's stall speed, the speed at which a plane's wings cannot generate lift.
note that flaps do not do any part in helping the aircraft. turn, the Rudder, Elevators (as you do lose altitude when turning, also helps the aircraft turn more quickly by raising the nose slightly) and Ailerons do that job.

Rudder - Moves the airframe from side to side; left or right. This can be used to align the airframe with the oncoming airflow: counter the action of the propeller that causes the airplane to pull to the side at full power; or during a turn. Conversely, rudder can be used to not align airframe with on-coming airflow, so as to create drag and help the airplane come down faster; or to align the airframe with the runway during a crosswind landing.
Aileron - Rotates airframe around longitudinal axis - makes wing go up or down. Used to turn the aircraft. Can be used to roll the aircraft.
Elevator - Forces tail of aircraft up or down to make aircraft go up or down.

Take a look at chapter 4 of the FAA's "Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge"

i'msure there will be better answers to follow... rudder keeps your aircraft straight............ left to right........ elevator creates lift and decent .......straight up and down ................ailerons control pitch left to right.....also known as yaw. i think these are the right control services.........

rudder-turns airframe left or right
elevator-moves airframe up, down
ailerons-control of airframe side to side angle i.e. left wing up w\left wing down
flaps-used to increase lift at low speeds

Do your own homework you lazy sod! You've got three questions on here all about airplane systems and history......
