John T,

This would keep a yaw string (if installed) right down the centerline of the aircraft.

don't think so ...
If the airplane is in the attitude for "zero sideslip" I do believe the string would go straight back... am I missing something?

tommoutrie,

Quote "Do you pick up a stalled wing with ailerons, or rudder? Give me the rudder every time."

I would "pick up a wing" by reducing the angle of attack so that its flying again. I hope you would too. Does anyone still think that an inadvertent wing drop or incipient spin is best dealt with using a boot full of rudder? Stick forward, unstall the wing..
Yes! I do this every time I hear an instructor teach that you should slam rudder in to make sure the nose doesn't move a hair off your heading when you stall. As soon as the wing is flying again you can use aileron and rudder to put the airplane into a coordinated roll to wings level. I wrote an article about this exact issue in stall recovery awhile ago.
