remember George, that Ail deflection does just this
it warps airflow it does not act as an air dam this is what we need to concentrate on

I have tried various design fixes-but about the only one that seems to work is to get the wing back to 0-0 ( which can be achieved by a few ways, design, mix or thumbs) Differential itself does not seem to work if the wing is POA ( well...it works for half the roll !)
