Question

Greaser & Z,. .. .I pose this thought. As long as the airplane is not in a slip (a yaw string used not the ball in the slip/skid indicator), wouldn't the lift on both sides be equal (we raise the dead and apply oppisite rudder to eliminate the side slip). The ailirons would maintain bank angle. Now keep the bank around 2-3 degrees. (or 5 degrees per CFR23.149) in to the operating engine.. .. .As airspeed decreases, you normally run out of rudder well before ailiron control. As you continue to bank into the operating engine you can continue to decrease the speed at which directionial control is lost at a rate of 3 knots per degree of bank.. .. .So I guess I'm not sold on the slip stream effect in this case, or am I missing something? I'm also not sold on the theory I presented in my first post, but it does make some sence.
