Add to the theme, what happens if flying a 150/2 or 172, and you open the left cabin door about 8 inches or so. Left door open, plane turns _____? Why?
I don't know, and I'm not going to try it , but my guess would be that the left wing rises because of the higher AoA on the left wing as the air tries to avoid the door. So you turn and slip right, and then I suppose it kind of self-corrects..

Now I'm not sure I can live with the suspense .
Will there be an answer?
