Good question. In addition to the list below, I would add skewing the wing. I.E. right wing panel ahead of left wing panel to induce a left turn.
I have observed that many (some, a few) indoor planes fly to the right when the prop stops providing positive thrust. It would seem to me that trimming the plane to fly straight or to the left when this happens would be more efficient.
Is it possible to rank the effectiveness of each method of inducing a turn at full thrust/torque & again at low thrust/torque?
At least superficially, stab tilt would seem to me to be efficient. What are the inefficiencies or down side to this method?

Which reminds me: How do we set left thrust, stab tilt, left rudder so that the forces are balanced (which I assume would be the most efficient way to turn) ?
