Helmet,

In seven (above) I think the correct sequence of events would be slightly different.

The nose would yaw to the right.

As the barn door side of the fuselage becomes exposed to the wind it would react to that force and roll skids away from the wind. (the pivot would be at the mast)

All this time the disc would stay (with no pilot input) in it's previous alignment with the direction of flight.

Since we still have control of the disc and not the fuselage I think your squaring the disc to the fuselage idea is correct I just don't think the sight picture will be what you expect when you look up.

Thanks for the thought provoking post,
