Yeh this is what happens, it is a combination of all things spinning. Just hold your RC car and get someone to blip the throttle, you'll feel it kick the front up. Then still holding the car, hold the throttle open then go to full brakes, it'll pitch the nose down.

So this is mid air control. But what you do on the upramp also effects what it'll do in the air. i.e. if you hit the jump at a contant speed it may (depending on jump) jump level, but hit it accelerating and it'll start its flight with nose high. Also, if you blip the throttle on the up ramp it can make the car jump higher due to it loading the shock up more than if you were at a constant speed.

Complex? it comes naturally with practice. Steering in the air with throttle open effects the pitch too, ive seen Neil Cragg have the car pitched right over on its side and recover it, land and make it look easy.... ive only ever done that by fluke.
