    Can someone explain the pilot one?  
    Pilotfriend.com:

    "A turn is a combination of several aerodynamic factors. Individually each factor has both positive effect and negative effect. Beginning with the ailerons the inside aileron goes up and decreases lift that lowers the wing while the outside aileron goes down and increases the lift that raises the outside wing. We now have roll. Along with raising the wing the outside aileron just by increasing the lift also creates drag. Parasitic drag that is. This drag is a negative that tends to swing the nose away from the turn. This is yaw... Adverse yaw, that is. The combination of roll and drag is called coupling. With roll you get yaw. The speed or rate of your roll entry, by affecting the relative winds of the two wings, causes additional but slight adverse yaw. 

    Without coordinating rudder to counter any adverse yaw the aircraft is in a slip. The lower wing is faster and moving forward and rising with the increased lift. The relative wind weakly moves the vertical stabilizer away from the turn effectively moving the nose into the turn and reducing the slip."




    I asked someone I know that is a pilot and he said that with a stalled prop (like in the picture) you would be using your legs (rudder) to fight to keep the plane level (assuming the other prop is running).

    He also said that affecting a turn as described above would be exceptionally difficult because of the lack of assistance from the motor that "pulls" you into a turn. So the force required by your legs to turn the plane would certainly make you grateful for strong legs.

    I had no idea legs were even involved in flying a plane!  The things you learn here.   :)

    I'm not sure that's yoga. Looks more like he's praying to be rescued from that position ;)
