So let me understand. I'm flying my C172 in a left traffic pattern for landing and when making the left turn from base to final, I get sloppy, there's a little turbulence and so on, and suddenly I hear the stall horn croak and the left wing drops. I push the yoke forward a bit and reach for the throttle. My "old instructor" wants me to step on the right rudder pedal if I have time before I auger in. Are you suggesting I should twist the yoke to the right as well? Or am I missing something?
