So I understand what pitch is and what increasing/decreasing does to a heli. What I dont understand is what the aileron and elevator are or what they do. Can someone throw me a bone here?

Ok so the elevator makes the kit go forward or back and the pitch is how fast it moves in said direction? maybe i didnt fully understand pitch after all. This is starting to make more sense to me.
When you see an airplane aileron go down on the right and up on the left (when standing behind it) the plane will bank to the left. A helicopter does basically the same thing but it does it every time the rotor goes around. The collective will increase when it's on the right, go neutral in the front and decrease on the left.
Okay, so what does the little propeller at the back of this helicopter do?
