This is exactly my point. There is this misundersanding that because your rudder is pressed one way and your ailerons are the other way that you are uncoordinated. Yes, you are uncoordinated in terms of control inputs but not necessarily in terms of aerodynamic forces.

I can demonstrated this over and over in an aerobatic aircraft and all they see (with a slipping stall) is a high pitch attitude falling leaf. Some even have a hard time believing they are stalling because there is almost no dramatic pitch change. That's when I point to the VSI and altimeter. But when I put my inputs in the same direction (skid) then it is a complete different story.
