Isn't interesting that entry level RC Aircraft only have rudder and elevator
controls.. and then turn just fine.
Funny that a full sized airplane would react the same way.

In a stall, you pick up the low wing with rudder, not aileron, that only
adds adverse yaw, more drag on the low wing, and fights the rudder.

On a 3 hour cross country today I was amusing myself by flying with
rudder pedals only (all right, OK, a little yoke usage to maintain
altitude). But then I got to wondering why applying rudder pressure
causes the plane to bank. All I could think of was that rudder usage
produces asymmetric lift because one wing is somewhat blanked by the
sideways motion induced by the rudder? Also, the rudder surface is
above the plane's center of lift but I don't know how much of a factor
that is.
