Hi Geo,
When I first read Bill's post I had the same thought and then realized he meant when he wrote "the nose rises" he was meaning in reference to the pilot's view out the front, not relative to the horizon. You are absolutely correct that you use the rudder to point the noise in reference to the horizon. And your point and Bill's point were exactly what I was trying to demonstrate with my video. Thanks!
Jim

"Imagine knife edge flight for a bit. Pull
back on the stick and the nose rises. Push and the nose goes down" Referring to the above, in a knife edge turn, the elevator tighten the turn and you use the rudders to control your nose up or down in reference to the horizon. Geo
