Default spins from coordinated flight

I don't agree. A coordinated turn is *always* a turn around all three
axes. (The only exception is a turn with a 90 degrees bank.) You can
easily demonstrate this by "hand-flying" a toy airplane.



Axis isn't really used in this way. You will notice if you move your toy
airplane that the axis system remains in place and moves with the
aircraft centered on the aircraft's cg.

To define turn using axis reference is not the best way to explain turn
since once established in a stable turn there should be no movement on
the airplane's axis system. The axis system references the lines
crossing through the aircraft's Cg and are used to define movement and
moment on each axis. The axis system moves in place with the aircraft
and never deviates from it's center point through the cg.
There is movement on the longitudinal axis in roll as the airplane is
rolled into and out of the turn, and movement as well on the lateral
axis in pitch as angle of attack is increased to compensate for the
split in the lift vector. There is movement on the Vertical axis as
rudder is used to compensate for adverse yaw both during and exiting the
turn, but once established in a coordinated turn, (I'm using medium
banked turn here for easy reference as under bank and over bank in
shallow and steep turns cause in turn axis changes complicating the
situation a bit) all movement on the aircraft's axis should be stable.

The proper way to define turn as relates to change in direction is to
define the change in the velocity vector as relates to heading change
not as a change on or around the axis of the aircraft.
