Flutter (Aircraft Flutter)

Flutter: A phenomenon whereby the elevator or aileron control surface begins to oscillate violently in flight. This can sometimes cause the surface to break away from the aircraft and cause a crash. There are many reasons for this, but the most common are excessive hinge gap or excessive "slop" in the pushrod connections and control horns. If you ever hear a low-pitched buzzing sound, reduce throttle and land immediately.

Flare

Flare, the point during the landing approach in which the pilot gives an increased amount of up elevator to smooth the touchdown of the airplane.

Flaps

Hinged control surface located at the trailing edge of the wing inboard of the ailerons. The flaps are lowered to produce more aerodynamic lift from the wing, allowing a slower takeoff and landing speed. Flaps are often found on scale models, but usually not on basic trainers.

Four Stroke (Four Cycle)

Four Stroke (Four Cycle): Although a 4-stroke engine has less power than a 2-stroke engine of comparable size, there are advantages to 4-stroke engines. They do not require a muffler and are often quieter than most 2- strokes are with a muffler. They can swing a bigger prop than the same size 2- stroke engine. This is an asset in the large, slow-flying aerobatic and scale models where 4- stroke engines are usually mounted. Lastly, the fuel economy is better.

Flight Pack - Airborne Pack

Flight Pack or Airborne Pack : All of the radio equipment installed in the airplane, i.e., Receiver, Servos, Battery, Switch Harness.

This is not a similar thing to the flight box, rather it refers to all the radio equipment that is used in an RC aircraft during flight. This includes most importantly the receiver, but also the servos/ESC, flight pack battery/BEC and the harness. The transmitter is outwith the craft and so not considered part of the flight pack, despite its involvement.

FHSS - (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum)

FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) : 

 — A 2.4GHz radio system which switches from one "free" frequency to another every few milliseconds. While jumping from one to the other frequency, you are not spending much time on that frequency and this keeps out interference. See also: DSSS.

Wikipedia:
Frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) is a method of transmitting radio signals by rapidly switching a carrier among many frequency channels, using a pseudorandom sequence known to both transmitter and receiver. It is utilized as a multiple access method in the frequency-hopping code division multiple access (FH-CDMA) scheme.
