Brown, in a book, describes a test he did with the aileron slots sealed, the seal blew off on one side and set up a violent aileron oscillation and caused the wing to flex alarmingly (his word). It is said elsewhere that the ailerons were set up to be "heavy" so to prevent pilots over stressing the wings. As said by sycamore, particular mark/type may be pertinent.
