Thanks. The spoilers move a lot more than the ailerons do which explains why the OP did not see any aileron deflection.

The C-130 is the same with near full aileron deflection used at relatively low crosswind components. Plus its wingspan is longer although it doesn't have the spoiler sticking up into the wind creating more drag like the ATR.
