Default Is rudder required for coordinated turns?

Planes like Arrows, Mooneys, Bonanzas, etc
automatically move the rudder when you roll the ailerons.


Dunno about the Mooney or Bo, but the Arrows I've flown do not have
interconnect. You have full individual control of each of the three axis.
What it =does= have is differential deflection of the alerons, which
reduces
adverse yaw. The only plane I know of that had interconnect is the
Ercoupe.


In addition, many airplanes are designed with Frise type ailerons, which
also reduce adverse yaw by creating extra drag on the up-deflected aileron
(to balance the drag on the down-deflected one).
