Default Park Bench Ailerons

Never heard of them.... and can't corrupt any I have heard of to that phrase..
There's the Northrop Gamma style, which could be considered to resemble a "park bench" back rest... they're raised up from the aileron surface itself, similar to a modern spade device, but much more span.
No current images of a Gamma in my library, but I have seen some somewhere..

Sometime later that same day..
