ORIGINAL: jetmech05

Not all full scale aircraft use rudder in turns....the 727 doesn't and when I was in the 777 sim I was told to leave rudder alone and was able to turn using just ailerons.....
You control an aircraft in 3 axis....pitch (elevators), Roll (ailerons), and Yaw (rudder)...yaw is the side to side movement of the nose......
Those aircraft have something called a yaw damper.
