My question was in regard to that rocking and rolling flightphase, where gas thrusters would not jet or later on during reentry no more be used for steering.

@PJ2
Indeed, it is present not only in roll, but looking at more scenes in yaw and pitch as well. It increases when feathering, winds a bit down when feathered, and increasing again when defeathering.
Would some dehidral configuration of the main wing have a better outcome?
