Nrad,
Don't feel bad. Most likely, there was no combination of control that would have helped. You needed altitude to recover from the stall. With the large wing of the Escapade, by the time you have stalled, you are too far below VOC for any of the controls to have helped much, and adding throttle just added to the roll, I know, I've seen me do it!

Once you get the plane rebuilt and flying again, you may want to get high up, and let the plane stall a few times and get used to how it stalls, and which wing it wants to drop. However, while you are rebuilding it, you may want to check the wings for warp, which you can usually remove with an iron or heat gun while slowly twisting the wing the opposite way of the warp. You could even put in a bit of washout on the wing tips (both wing tips slightly warped flatter than the rest of the wing) so the tips keep flying even as the main wing starts to stall.
