Default RE: Coordinated turn ?

If you fly on an airliner take a look at your drink during a turn. You will notice that the fluid level stays parallel with the floor of the airplane during a turn. This is the sign of a coordinated turn. Modelers try to achieve this by inputting some rudder during turns. Form the ground it is very difficult to tell how much rudder is enough - they are really just making a wild guess as to how much and when to add rudder.
