REFLECTOR: Symantec confusion

[Laurence Coen]

Aileron snatch, Dutch roll and adverse yaw are three separate and distinct things.  Google "Dutch roll" and and get your terms straight.  Aileron droop on a Velocity is to compensate for slop in the control system.  In flight the ailerons should be in neutral.  Air foils that droop in flight are called "flaps" and are retracted in cruise.  Gliders have air foils that stick up to kill lift.  A Velocity is neither a glider or does it have flaps.  Aileron snatch is where aileron control is "snatched" away from the pilot in an un-commanded moment.
