The comment about wing drop after lift off towards the downwind wing is also exacerbated by holding the downwind rudder on too long. It is the case that at rotation a little more into wind aileron is required. FCTM says to remove the cross control once airborne. Personally, I find it very manageable to reduce the downwind rudder during rotation to be zero at lift off. This reduces the amount of extra aileron required and also allows the a/c to take up the correct drift heading immediately after liftoff. It's all very smooth.
