Slipping turns

Oz
Have you done any sideslipping for real ?

You say "I would expect a banked aircraft slipping to the right to experience a yaw to the right due to the airflow on the fin and fuselage surface"
Well yes, the aircraft would normally want to yaw to the right, but you have applied left rudder balanced against right aileron, to hold it in the sideslip !
