Default RE: Ever have a saggy tail?

The term is called adverse yaw. It is caused by the down aileron increasing the drag on that wing, and resists the turn, so the plane acts like its tail heavy. The colder the air the more the drag. Either manually add a little rudder with your ailerons or add a "mix aileron and rudder" and the sagging tail will go away.

Happy Landings!
