Rudder input toward or away from the dropped wing? Toward would be like the second half of a wing-over, away might level the wings through side-slip and taking advantage of the Piper's dihedral. Interesting.
I noticed they have a good dihedral; in fair conditions you could probably land on rudder alone.
