A very basic question

Dudely.. he said turning by banking only.. he said nothing of "inside
rudder"
at least not the way I read it

As to the aileron, think of the relative wind on the wings.
With an aileron dropped (looking like a flap), there will be increased
drag.
Of course the other one goes up, but I don't think the resultant force
is equal on both wings.
Thus, yaw results.

Brian, are you stating that this yaw causes the turn?, actually this is
adverse yaw and resists the turn.

Come, lets step into my flying laboratory, the Grob 103, and we'll
explore that interesting concept called adverse yaw.

Inside rudder will most definitely produce bank which will produce turn
exactly as Brian said it would. There is a difference between adverse and
complimentary yaw. Actually, there will be no adverse yaw if inside rudder
alone is used to induce complimentary yaw. Only aileron application into a
bank with no inside rudder will produce adverse yaw.
If complimentary yaw (inside rudder) is used with no aileron, the speed
difference between the retreating inside wing and the forward moving
outside wing will cause bank, which will be a direct secondary result of
the complimentary yaw being produced.
In other words, insider rudder will most definitely produce bank as a
secondary effect and as such will produce turn...assuming no anti turn
control input is present.
