YASim doesn't model wash effects, so there really isn't any process by which a pure control input would generate force. Are you sure you weren't just sitting in a stiff wind?

Also, try side slipping any of the cessnas or the pa28. It seems that in this flight regime the rudder seems to lack authority, at least compared it to the 150's and 152's I've flown where you need quite a bit of aileron to counter the opposing roll of the rudder when the controls are 'well crossed'. Is this the case or is side slipping a particularly tricky thing to get right in the FDM?
