By watching the ball in the turn indicator. It moves far less in an
AP turn without rudder than it moves when I make a turn without
rudder.


But you're watching the ball in a simulator. What's that
got to do with ANY claim about a real life GA plane?


Nothing in his whole life has anything to do with reality.
