You did mix up your lateral and longitudinal rolls and axies, (an aircraft rolls laterally around its longitudinal axis and it pitches longitudinally about its lateral axis)
Cloud Basher, I got the axes right (at least in my head I think ) but should have been clearer and said 'roll around the longitudinal axis' for the wing drop and 'roll around the lateral axis' for the nose drop.

Just revising for my CPL aerodynamics exam on Thursday, so this is applied theory at its best
