I find it incredible that this myth persists of "pick up a dropped wing with rudder" rather than prevent further yaw with rudder.
"Pick up" the dropped wing, "prevent further yaw". Does it really matter what it's called as long as the person performing the stall recovery does it to a standard that an ATO finds acceptable?
