Default RE: OPPOSITE RUDDER

There is no secondary effect of ailerons as there is with rudder. Ailerons turn the aircraft. Rudder yaws the aircraft, but in so doing, one wing travels faster than the other, generates more lift, and the aircraft turns as a result, but generally not as effectively as with ailerons. The rudder is also effective down to very low speeds, and that's why it
's used in stall turns.

Very nice conclusion and well said, that is exactly the truth!Do you fly full scale aircraft or only r/c?
