Larry, just thinking out loud on your wing drop. Are you applying back pressure and raising the nose any during the slip? A combination of slip and nose high pitch can produce a momentary loss of rudder authority. Though not a prevalent event, it can occur. A good way to determine if this is present is at the moment of wing drop, see if there is a momentary corresponding yaw opposite of rudder deflection.
It probably is not there as this usually happens at a very high uncoordinated pitch angle and then it has to be the right combination of fuselage design, rudder size, speed, etc. etc. Dana Overall 1999 & 2000 National KR Gathering host Richmond, KY i39 RV-7 slider, Imron black, "Black Magic" Finish kit 13B Rotary.
