Default Re: aileron differential?

I hope this helps...
Aileron movement can actually yaw the plane. To make the plain roll you're basically causing more lift on one side, that side being the side going up. The side that has less lift generally has less drag which means it'll be trying to move forward while the other wing will try to move backwards, thus yawing the plane. To correct this you use aileron diff, more up than down.
