Striderjg,

The aileron differential should be much more up than down, Much! Wouldn't criticize, but you call it too much when you have way not enough good differential, needing more up than down.

Adverse yaw is caused by the drag of the lowered aileron on a flat bottom wing. It is only a concern when flying slowly. However, on some high-performance aircraft, with symetrical wing, adverse yaw is used to help rolls stay axial.
