Very clear link dtango, that was what I was pointing, the larger the wing, the larger the turbulent wake producing larger pressure drag. That is the effect that should be present when you perform violent scissors, you increase the AOA as much as possible without stalling (avobe maximum lift), keep the turn for very few seconds (now reducing the AOA) and then repeat in the opposite direction. This is also what happens in a hard break turn (may be you only turn 45 degrees but probably past the stall angle, losing lift and aproaching the stall).
As the drawings show, the turbulent wake affects all the upper surface of the wing (supposedly, the larger the wing, the larger the effect for the similar AOA). Now the question is how this affects the speed of the plane.
IMO, the example playing with rudders is similar. Full rudder right and your nose starts pointing right, but not your flight path initially, similar as increasing your AOA. The larger the lateral surface of the plane and the larger the lose of speed. Keeping full right rudder further and the flight path and the nose angle difference starts to decrease, as well as the "brake" effect.
