Default Slips and skids

I think the more bottom rudder you give in a turn, the more the nose

is pull the plane around an axis from ear-to-ear.


The rudder is intended to control adverse yaw, not to turn the
airplane. Banking the airplane turns it. Some airplanes, the "idiot-
proof" ones, sometimes need no rudder at all in a turn.
