All planes need rudder to do a coordinated turn.
The amount of rudder needed for a coordinated turn depends on the bank angle. A 90 degree bank is all elevator. A 45 degree bank is half elevator and half rudder. A 30 degree bank is 86% rudder and 50% elevator.
I use the ailerons to set the bank angle and then I use a mix of elevator and rudder to carve the turn. The ailerons should be neutral during the turn. If you have to hold ailerons to stay banked, you are not using enough rudder. If you have to hold opposite ailerons to keep the bank from increasing, you are using too much rudder.
Not to pick nits, but 86% + 50% = 136%. Can't have more than 100%.
True, it doesn't, unless you add them as vectors. Walk north 86.6 ft in a straight line and then turn 90 degrees and walk west 50 more feet in a straight line and you will be 100 ft away from your starting point.
