If you bank to the left in the 152, you also have to apply left rudder because the aircraft slips in the direction of turn (pretty sure this is caused by the change in direction of lift which is now tilted - weight is still acting straight down but some of the lift is acting sideways, causing the a/c to slip into the direction of turn). My question is why don't big jet aircraft slip in the turn like the 152 when you roll them. I thought it was to do with wing shape, but I never thought about yaw damper so that is probs the answer.
