Does anyone know how much deflection of the ailerons with the yoke will cause the spoilers to rise on the wing of a 767? If you are correcting for a crosswind takeoff and use too much aileron and cause the spoilers to rise on the upwind wing, will that cause the takeoff config warning to sound?

I can't comment on the 767 unfortunately, some bloke in our company once tried it out on the ground in the 737, anything higher than 1.6 units deflection supposedly caused the spoilers to lift on one wing, but it will never cause a T/O config warning - you always need a bit of aileron in the wind, and sometimes a bit more ;)
