Nick Bloom (Pilot magazine) wrote in August 2004 edition :

"People criticise the Tiger Moth's ailerons, and it's true that they become ineffective at very slow speeds, but the roll rate at cruise speed is excellent."

It's certainly no Pitts but last Saturday's Tiger flight IMO confirmed Bloom's comments.

The geared differential aileron control minimises adverse yaw in a rather complex way.
