Good idea for a post Krusty! I'm surprised by how often I see people just give up and auger in after losing a wingtip. Of course, maybe they lose control, or don't want to rtb damaged, but still...
I find I can rtb safely w/o a wingtip 19 out of 20 tries with my F4U, which I believe is easier than in the 190.
My standard method is to exit the fight, and fast! I sometimes "fake" loss of control so my opponent will leave me alone. As I exit the fight I trim aileron all the way away from the damaged side, and sometimes need a bit of rudder too. I often (always?) need to hold rudder as well. W/O manual trimming landing is REALLY tough w/o a wingtip.
On approach, I get my gear down, and I only drop a few notches of flaps (2 in the hog). With the flaps down I can re-trim aileron and rudder back closer to normal. I keep a fair amont of throttle on all the way down, and keep my speed higher than normal. I try to set up my turn onto final so I can turn AWAY from the damaged wing.
I normally land gear-down, but if the landing is going bad, and I'm lined up on the runway I sometimes belly slide.
Landing on the CV helps too, if you have a plane with a tailhook. :^)

Krusty- Saber and I will be going through Denver (picking my brother up at the airport in early September. We'll be heading down to Pagosa Springs for muzzleloader elk. If things work out, maybe meet up with you for a brew?
