Someguy... Did you read my quote you used? Or the thread I posted? I was talking about a hypothetical situation.I'm a commercial pilot and well aware of what you're saying. My point was to emphasize that the elevator would be pointing the aircraft in the turn in that situation. In real life the aircraft would need to have an incline with the horizontal sufficient enough to produce enough lift via the body, rudder and vertical component of thrust to keep the aircraft level.

Wiz... See last sentence above
