Not quite aileron reversal, but....
Shortly after buying a DH82 I was interested to note that as the stick was moved to one side the appropriate ailerons would go up and down in the correct sense, but further movement caused the upgoing one to go further up, while the (previously) downgoing one would start to come back up. Close to full travel, one would be well up, the other back to neutral. At full travel, one was fully up, the other very slightly up! Believe this is normal behaviour for a Tiger, no doubt designed to reduce adverse yaw. Also no doubt contributes to the leisurely roll rate!
