Interesting problem. Reminds me of flying multi-engine noncenterline
with one engine out, where to keep the string in the middle you have to
fly with the ball to the side.

So (my swag analysis) if you are in a right hand turn, the forces on the
wings are as below, with the inner wing having more drag, because it is
slower and must fly at a higher AOA (gained through aileron deflection).
To counteract the forces now trying to rotate the aircraft, one must
toss in some rudder. To then keep from side slipping, one must fly in
what would feel like a skidded turn to balance all of the forces.

Does this make sense?


In any case, it instilled in me the knowledge that the yaw string is
not an indicator of the relative angles of attack on the two wings.

true dat.
