Default RE: Question about rudder angles

Crusherboy is correct. You have to add up elevator in turns. Even with aeileron's. This is from the fact that a banked wing is creating its lift at an angle to the earth, this angle means part of the lift is now turning the aircraft, and there is less lift keeping it in the air. You have to add up elevator to add lift, this speeds up the turn as well as to keep it level.
