B757 Spoilers

What we need to know is stuff like;
- In a roll, do ALL the rollspoilers on the LOW wing deploy,
or does is the number of spoilers depend on Control Wheel input?
- Is it correct that CW input needs to be greater than 11 deg for
deployment of rollspoilers?
- You are in level flight WITH speedbrakes, then do a sharp turn,
what happens? Do the UP wing spoilers retract?
- what are the max deflections in degrees for speedbrakes and rollspoilers?

Mad (Flt) Scientist Speaking from memory on the B757 I think only the outboard spoilers deploy for roll control, yes it does depend on control input but I cannot remember the actual angles.
I have a feeling that the upgoing wing spoilers do retract but not fully.
Hope this helps I will have to get my manual out & gen up!!
