"Weathercocking" is stability. I'm simply using the OP's term. Newtonian, Bernoullian, Brobdingnagian, it doesn't matter. You've got a symmetrical airfoil at the back of the plane. Don't get caught up in semantics.

I thought Italia's original point was that it was the elevator that makes the plane turn.
