Default Coordinated turns and the little ball

With much less weight in the wing and tail, the dynamic motion in a
maneuver could cause the inertia of the fuselage to overpower the
aerodynamic stabilizing forces of the wing and tail. In the worst cases
the pilot lost control and the resulting abnormal air loads caused
airframe structural failure.


Sounds like a winner to me. Thank you for taking the time and interest.

I'm not quite sure what that means, as far as what motion the fuselage actually
takes.

Does the nose veer off of the line of flight, or does something else happen?
