That sounds great in theory, but in practice it's not quite so quick and easy. You may have gotten it down, but it can be quite easy for a beginner to forget when something goes wrong.
And depending on the plane's size, shape and colors, and how far away it is, after something does `go wrong', it's often not immediately obvious if the plane is either coming towards you or going away.
What I'm saying is `push the stick toward the lower wing' is hardly the panacea that many make it out to be. Fortunately, it's something that's picked up with experience pretty quickly. A sim will help with it, but flying a real plane will be better (because a lot of it's about reading the plane and where it's going, and this really is different with a sim) and until you get it down, having an instructor if you don't have a crash-resistant plane is best.
In either case, if you've lost orientation on your plane, I've found that wiggling the sticks a bit (just a bit!) and seeing which way it turns is the fastest way to get orientation back. If your instructor is good, he'll probably take your plane up high, and then make some violent maneuver to put the plane in an unusual and random position, and let you practice recovering from it.
