Default How come the wings bank when I use the rudder

When the rudder is applied, a skid and a turn follow. The skid is
of no
consequence, but any turn rate at all is of great consequence, since
tht makes the outside wing fly faster, creating more lift, and a bank
is the result; a two-stage event where succession is important.




Not true.

All the evidence you need to the contrary can be supplied by simply yawing
the airplane while holding opposite aileron, thus inducing a skid, and then
neutralising the ailerons.

the airplane will roll left and nothing to do with the differntial speed of
the wing, because there won;t be any!
