I used to use the kick method on the 72 all the time. Great airplane and responded to inputs rather quickly. On the 74, NO WAY am I gonna do the kick method. To much mass, slow to respond and a much longer fuselage arm. I tried it once or twice and it wasn't pretty.
Wing down on a 72 = drags the outboard slat
Wing down on a 74 = drags the pod
