Ailerons are actuated by pushrods that run through the wing struts, reducing aerodynamic drag and giving the responsive ailerons a solid feel. The pushrod ailerons are solid and quick, and nicely harmonized with the elevator and rudder. As would be expected, there is adverse aileron yaw, but much less than we anticipated.
