Neither as a test pilot nor as an instructor would I advocate *correcting* a wing drop in a straight wing aeroplane with rudder, unless there was some known unusual characteristic of the aeroplane. I would advocate using rudder to keep the aeroplane in balance, which should minimise wing drop, but it should not be "picked up" with anything. Whatever bank angle occurs should be picked up with aileron - co-ordinated as required with rudder, but only once the aeroplane is clearly unstalled.

Plenty of people here with several orders of magnitude more swept / delta time than I have. Whilst I *think* I know the answer, I'm going to wait for a grown up, then see if I was right.
