An A4 pilot mate of mine mentioned that the assymetric deployment used to cause a problem during ACT. Often, when pulling high AOA, one would deploy beofre the other and you would get undemanded roll which would sometimes put you in a bad position. The solution, I gather, was to have some duct tape with you during the walkaround and put a strip around the leading edge about mid span which was enough to hold them in. But you had to remember to add a few knots to the approach speed!
