Somebody was Ruddering, let's assume it was Captain Renslow. If as trained he powered up and 'tried to maintain altitude' +-100feet, he was pulling, ever harder (assuming he was wrong in his pitch awareness), he would have his feet on the pedals, which move, independently. Was he supposed to balance his foothold purchase to prevent other than neutral Rudder deflection?? Probably, but he couldn't, hence the dropped wing and aileron chase. A very cool customer with 2-3,000 time in type may have handled it differently, but if our stand-in missed the E trim, he would have done what Captain Renslow did, IMHO. Probably would have pushed at the Pusher, though. It's hard to let go of a yoke when your in a battle for control. Even if you know what your doing. Did either one figure out what was happening? Shaw didn't do anything re, control, except 'I raised the flaps'.
