What Radix said.

Gidday jgray, and welcome to the forums.

My question is this: In every aircraft I have flown, the need to hold same side rudder to combat adverse yaw is obvious and very noticeable, yet I have never needed OPPOSITE rudder whilst turning.
There is no roll occurring during a level turn. The roll is at the initiation of the turn, but then ceases. For the remainder of the turn, the aircraft is in continuous yaw and continuous pitch.

The pitch is up, and the yaw is towards the inside of the turn.

drpixie said it first: adverse yaw is a function of aileron application, and nothing to do with roll.
