Default Coordinated turns and the little ball

An interesting demo is to take you feet off the rudders, look out over the
nose, and quickly roll in full left or right aileron deflection. Depending
on how much inverse yaw your particular plane has (172's do a great demo;
Cherokees less so), you will see the nose of the plane first get pulled off
to the *outside* of the turn, then as the bank angle gets established,
start to get dragged in the right direction.


So for a turn to the right, the passengers are first shifted to the
right, and then to the left?
