Tom:

Looks like you pulled a beginner's trick. But don't feel bad, a lot of people never learn not to do the same thing.

If you have good speed, well above stall, the ailerons will easily correct a bad bank angle.

But here's the nasty. You have one wing low, the airspeed is down, you feed opposite aileron, and the plane spins in, still toward the low wing. Why?

Putting the aileron down on the low wing effectively increases its angle of attack, and being close to stall before, it goes into full stall. then spin and crunch.

Two ways to correct without inducing a stall, the first isn't hard to remember, just give the plane a little down elevator and ignore the bank until you get more airspeed, if you have room to go away from the runway to the side at the altitude you've reached this works fine.

The preferable method takes a little thought to understand, but it keeps you climbing and stays in line with the runway. It's opposite rudder. WHAT? Right. Left wing down, give the plane right rudder. This yaws the plane away from the low wing, and increases the low wing's airspeed as it lowers the airspeed on the high wing, the plane levels itself due to the different lift one side to the other.

Hard to learn, harder to make it automatic, but one more reason for learning to fly with the rudder.

Now, since your damage was minimal, patch the plane and start doing coordinated turns. In other words, use the rudder.

Hope this helps.

Bill.
