Default is this the right way?????

Yes Sir! Imagine in your mind what the plane would do if it was moving forward, and the right aileron was up. It would tend to push the right wing down, right? Remember sticking your hand out a moving car window as a kid? Left aileron down, at the same time, pushes left wing up. Plane rolls to the right. Stick should have been pushed right. Right. Right? Right, err, correct!

I know this is very simplified, but this is not the aerodynamics forum, or is it?

This works for me when I do a control check as I am ready to roll out and take off. A good habit, I think.
