What's the bet that if you ask any current flying instructor in Australian flying schools the recovery technique they teach if a wing drops at the point of stall, invariably they will say "Don't use aileron but pick up the wing with rudder" and proceed to yaw (skid with excessive rudder) the aircraft to level the wings. I find it incredible that this myth persists of "pick up a dropped wing with rudder" rather than prevent further yaw with rudder.
