What causes a plane to turn is the horizontal component of the lift

What counts is the center of gravity of the plane, not the tail.

BZZT. Incorrect over simplification and psuedoscientific drivel
given by the FAA. If you believed the FAA description, then the
airplane would just translate sidewise rather than turning in a
circle. While the horizontal component of lift is what pulls
you to the interior of the turn, the tail is VERY important to
actually "turn" the aircraft direction so that the horizontal
component continually gets pointed to the center of the turn.
