That yaw can be described as "weathervaning" and the
rudder is used to counteract it.
What you are describing is actually "adverse yaw". Weathervaning only
occurs when in contact with the ground.
No. Adverse yaw is drag caused by ailerons and acts *opposite* to the
direction of the bank. If you'd take the time to read my statements more
carefully, you'd see that in the statement you quoted, the yaw I'm talking
about acts in the *same* direction of the bank.
And is in fact "weathervaning".
