May 30, 2022 at 16:06 comment added Michael Hall "enough for traveling from one location to another"... Yes, under ideal conditions a skilled pilot could safely complete a flight from point A to point B. (just like one day in my 20s I drove my car home from work steering with only my knee to prove that I could...) But that's different than "maintain adequate control under a wide range of flight conditions", to which the answer is a resounding no.
May 30, 2022 at 15:17 comment added Charles Bretana Be aware, Yawing does not, by itself, turn the aircraft. All it does is cause the aircraft axis to rotate. The velocity of the aircraft does not change direction from the yaw itself. The yaw does however cause the relative wind to hit the side of the fuselage, causing a sideways force (fuselage lift), that does cause the velocity to change direction.
