From: last time I looked I was still here.
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.
