What specifically are you trying to find out about adverse yaw, I will be able to easily assist you with this.
However, in a nutshell, it is caused by the fact that during a turn one aileron is deflected up and thus in a low pressure area and the other is deflected down and therefore in a high pressure area, as more drag is produced in the high pressure area it thus slows that wing down causing the aircraft to yaw in the opposite direction of the turn. There are 2 ways to combat this, either by differential (or Frise) ailerons, or, by positive and coordinated use of the rudder, or, a combo of the 2.

The force is strong in this one :ugeek:
Clearly i have a lot to learn about flying :!: . i for tho most part push the throttle flat and pull back
i have to learn to use the rudder as mostly i dont even use that axis of control at all.. i do all my correcting and what not by banking the plane and adding various amounts of elevator input..
