Re: spins from coordinated flight

For the purposes of my question I am referring to coordinated as:

If the horizontal component of lift is exactly equal and opposite the 
apparent centrifugal force (a coordinated
turn).   The pilot flying by the "seat of his or her pants" feels no skid
or 
slip with the seat cu****on.

In your knife edge demonstration you could measure this if you rotated the

ball inclinometer 90 degrees.
I *believe* it would show you were in coordinated flight.

The Websters definition has merit for you when trying to reinforce a 
fundamental learning objective
but I was trying to drive to a very specific question.  Apparantly with
that 
I mis used "yaw"
