Skipname and flying apple
Yes the plane is completely stalled . It has to be as part of the flight test standards and yes you get a wing drop pretty much every time ( usually quite benign but I make the problem worse)
My instructor has done all the usual that you've suggested, including having me take my hands of the yoke completely and just use the rudder. they've held the yoke so that i can't physically turn it but I still yank it around
going to try the squeeze your elbows in thing and maybe even use one hand in the centre of the yoke and see what happens
