Spinning practice in a Cessna 172
Centaurus: "Suggest you should only apply enough rudder to prevent the wing from going down further. That means usually about one quarter of rudder pedal travel. At the same time use ailerons to level the wings. Include stick forward to unstall the wings and apply full power as necessary. If all done simultaneously it should take less than five seconds if done correctly. Practice until perfect."
I fear this technique could end in tears in some types. The Pitts range of aircraft for example might very well reward you with an outside flick / snap roll following these control inputs.
The purpose of rudder application in response to a wing drop is to prevent further yaw, which should stop the wing dropping further. I totally agree there is no intention to lift a wing with rudder unless you're performing a falling leaf. Aileron input should not be made until the wings are unstalled. Application of power during these control inputs can lead to some undesired results in higher powered types. Think in terms if Boeings FCTM guidance on rudder use during engine inoperative ops- " In flight, correct rudder input approximately centers the control wheel. To center the control wheel, rudder is required in the direction that the control wheel is displaced. This approximates a minimum drag configuration." ie no yaw = no roll.
