The aileron on the right wing deflects down, increasing the camber and creating more lift. We counteract adverse yaw by applying rudder in the direction of the turn. The amount of rudder required depends on roll rate and airspeed. Airspeed and attitude change constantly, and we must change rudder input along with them.

Adverse yaw is a side effect of aileron use, countered by rudder input. The asymmetry between the top and bottom surface of the wing is called wing camber. The downward movement of the aileron increases the asymmetry and, therefore, the camber while raising the aileron reduces the wing camber. What Is an Aileron?
