Gestrich:

When you say the turn causes the relative-wind to come from the left or the right....not quite.

If the relative wind is coming from a direction other than straight-ahead, that is YAW.

And in a coordinated turn, there should be no yaw.

The horizontal force from the horizontal component moves the airplane at the same rate as the change in direction of flight (and therefore, relative wind), such that there is never any yaw.

I am (but you knew that).
