With respect to differential aileron control, which of the following is true?
- The up going and down going ailerons both deflect to the same angle.
- The up going Aileron moves through a smaller angle than the down going aileron.
- The down going aileron moves through a smaller angle than the up going aileron.
Explanation
Differential aileron rigging deflects the up-going aileron through a larger angle than the down-going one. This raises the drag on the descending wing to balance the extra induced drag on the rising wing, reducing adverse yaw. So the down-going aileron travels through the smaller angle of the two.

isnt it vice versa?

The down going aileron is on the up going wing! :)
