I find this thread very interesting.

Matt--

So the yaw string was streaming to the right, and the ship was slowly turning right?

What would you estimate the bank angle to be, and in which direction?

I was banked left about 15-20 degrees (guessing from memory), nose was significantly down. I had to hold full right rudder with some effort to keep it in a slip. Yaw string was to the right. No spoilers or you loose pitch control due to turbulence over horiz. stab.
