Default Coordinated turns and the little ball



I guess he means precession. If you roll fast enogh, your aircraft
acts as a gyroscope. Now apply a force perpendicular to the roll axis,
and the result will be a precession motion which can be pretty

impressive.



ok, I knew it must have soemthing to do with a gyro....I couldnt reason it
out...but this makes sence. I hope your right...or else ill just have to
go back to being confused again.
