>Aileron Upfloat<

On some smaller aircraft the ailerons may be rigged into their „neutral” position with a certain amount of „upfloat”. In other words the neutral position of both ailerons is set above the trailing edge of the wing. This will mean that the up going aileron will move even higher into the airflow -- with an increase in drag, and the down going aileron will not move so far into the airflow -- producing little drag.
