This is a question for pilots who actually fly this aircraft.
Juan discusses the lack of left rudder input. That is in the context of whether there was an alternate means of picking the right wing up. Juan implies that had the rudder been applied, that might have worked. My question is whether setting up asymmetric power would also have complimented that rudder control input.
I've had occasion to do that in an Aztec years ago in BC, and it saved the aircraft, which was in a delicate situation with a popped Lister latch and some pitch control issues coming from the door being a few inches out into the airflow and blanking the right elevator to some extent. It started to roll on final with the addition of the last notch of flap.
