In response to the just prior post, that's missing now, on discrete roll rates in the turn;

There's a small right roll rate well before the left wing drop with a slight left roll rate immediately before the left wing drop. Consider these excursions to be positioning corrections. Ailerons are rate controls, as opposed to attitude controls, i.e., once a bank angle is established, aileron deflection is zero to maintain bank angle. The aircraft stopped rolling at wings level indicating the ailerons returned to neutral. The roll resumed during/after the wings level pull up.
