That's true....the end box turn around maneuvers are usually combinations of split Ss,, sharks teeth, or 1/2 cubans, but I still maintain that yank and bank turns even for my jets need opposite rudder to keep the nose up.
Also...I'm assuming that Red Bull pylon racers are using opposite rudder as they are almost at knife edge as they turn around the pylons
