C152 do suffer significant adverse yaw - I can prove it. If you do lookout properly in a 152 and LIFT BOTH WINGS during the lookout then failure to use rudder to counteract adverse yaw results in the nose swinging a lot and the pax feeling sick.

Is this not 'normal flight'?!?

With regard to comments about airliners....There is no such thing as one size fits all. Each a/c requires its own techniques and respect....to imply that you do not need rudder in a 152 because you dont in fast jet is ridiculous. But there again yaw dampers may just have something to do with helping you out there eh?

If you roll from a 60L to a 60R turn then you must use HUGE bootfuls of rudder....in a 152, pa28 or otherwise....that is unless you happen to have super dooper dogs nads computers to help you do the basics....hmm...all of a sudden I am hankering for more chipmunk aeros...
