you guys learning need to get things in proportion or you will go nuts.

weight of the aircraft is countered by the vertical component of lift. that's the big pair of forces.
thrust moving the aeroplane along is opposed by drag. that pair of forces is about a tenth of the magnitude of the lift.

all these other forces and influences you keep mentioning are quite small in comparison.

yaw forces on an aeroplane could be some proportion of all the things mentioned and then the could just be helped by a bit of turbulence.
when you are learning concentrate on the big things and don't get lost in in the little insignificant things or you'll never understand it.
