One day, while picking up banners in a Citabria, I managed to hook the sucker
on the left rudder horn giving me full right rudder just as I was pushing over
the top of the pickup.  I could not jettison the banner and there was considerable
glider and other flying activity below.  By messing around with aileron and 
power, I managed to maintain a shallow bank (still attempting to hold full left
rudder with my leg, but no go!) and dove the banner into the ground to break it
With the banner free, I was able to return to land but it took me a while to
get back into the banner groove; for some reason, my next several attempts were
too high.
