Ok, I'll buy that - makes sense. The explanation that the dropping
wing has a much higher momentary angle of attack also makes sense -
especially if your response is to bang on full aileron!

One hard-core solution is to fill up to the gills with water and let
inertia keep the wings level until aerodynamic control is reached -
just don't move that stick off the forward & center position until you
have enough speed to keep the wings level!

Only partially joking - heavy wings do seem less susceptible to wing
drops, in my limited experience.
