I'd go with FF's explanation, anybody here actually banked to 60°
and flown at a speed lower than the 'suggested stall speed' and not pulled 2G, yeah that's right it doesn't snap round on you.

Haul back to up the wing loading (and AoA) and you get a good example of wing drop, most of my experience of this is in gliders (it's not demo'd that much in power flying).

Go and try it.

Oh and if that doesn't kill you - carb heat hot first (if applicable) before closing the throttle and carb heat cold before opening the throttle.
