Think about it, as you start to roll into a turn, the airplane SHOULD be turning, IF it's coordinated (why wouldn't it turn?). It should be turning at the rate for 10 degrees of bank (while coordinated) when you go through 10 degrees of bank. It should be turning at the rate for 15 degrees of bank when you go through 15 degrees of bank. Although the above described "exercise" has been practiced since Orville and Wilbur took to the skies, it's not "coordinated" to roll into a turn and keep the nose stationary on a point (in terms of heading).
Next time you do this exercise, look very closely at the ball.
No, not really. The amount of hair-splitting and one-upmanship on this form is astounding.
Yes, we all know that while in a coordinated banked turn, that you will have a heading change in the direction of the bank (isn't that a given?).
I was simply trying to explain the purpose of the maneuver described by the OP. That is to 1) Demonstrate adverse yaw, and what causes it. 2) How to properly use the rudder to cancel the adverse yaw (preventing the nose from yawing opposite the aileron input). It's a maneuver for pre-solo private pilots, don't over complicate it....
