Im no Instructor and definatley not one for the theory, but I thought this one was simple.. or am I missing something. You roll.. the wing that goes up produces more lift, lift = induced drag. Thus induced drag on the wing going up "pulls" the wing back. The yaw is the result of the increased drag on the climbing wing.
The Trimming thing.. faster = more lift .. slower = less lift. speed stabilised therefore = good time to trim.
Just tell em.. "Dont bother trimming too much untill you are neither speedin up or slowing down, 'cos you'll just hafta do it all again onced you are doin neither"... If that doesn't draw a blank look, I dont know what would
