603DX, the ailerons of a Phantom are INBOARD of the dihederal break, so he still had full aileron and spoiler controls. His problem really began when he tried to lower the flaps, which included the outer wing LE flaps, and that caused a utility circuit hydraulic failure! IIRC the crew ejected and survived.
