33 deg, het, as Buster points out (edited because I didn't read his post first)

Ignition Override - it's different because a constant input on the stick doesn't give a constant aileron deflection, it gives a constant roll rate.

So you can't fly cross controlled in normal law.

Nor should you need to, example: after flying a crabbed crosswind approach, when it comes to squeeze the aircarft straight with rudder, if you don't apply any stick deflection then you haven't asked for any roll - so the aircraft ensures you don't get any. You just straighten with a rudder input and the aircraft stays wings level itself.

Sort of, anyway...there's a little bit of lag in the system and that usually requires a little tweaking of the sidestick. Not difficult to get used to, just different.
