Milt,
if there's a minute horizontal component of (main plane) lift, countered by a force at the (deflected) rudder (equal in magnitude, opposed in direction), why will anything go sideways?

If there is indeed slip, what will then balance the aero force on the slipping fuselage to avoid horizontal acceleration?

Regards,
Fred
