Absoutely, that's why I prefer flying gliders. With no propwash to act on the vertical stabiliser, you have to give them a bootfull of rudder to get them into a turn, and the adverse yaw on a single seater with an 18 metre wingspan is something to behold - it's the only way to fly.

Mind you, it's always funny the first time you do a turn in a powered aircraft after not having flown one for a long time, and you enter the turn like that, forgetting about the propwash!
