BBJ, saw your original post and thought I knew what you were referring to. This paste is from a description of the 727 flight controls, lifted from
www.boeing727.com (hope Benson doesn't mind).
"The flight spoilers, which operate in conjunction with the ailerons, provide the major portion of roll control by spoiling lift on the low wing. After a small movement of the control wheel, spoiler action is programmed in proportion to the further movement of the control wheel. A full roll control input would cause the flight spoilers of the low wing to rise to a maximum of approximately 25 degrees. The spoiler panels of the high wing would remain down."
Sorry I can't help with the new fangled stuff!
Sorreeee!
