Nobody has mentioned "paddleing" the rudder?

Perhaps not the most scientific but it can help if rudder authourity is an issue in something with little or no braking. As the speed bleeds off try literally dabbing the rudder one way then the other. I found this worked well on a Tempete I used to fly from the hard runway at Shoreham.
