That would certainly increase the bank angle by reducing propellor wash across the wing. It all rather depends on whether all the control cables were routed along a single channel in the wing, something I have been unable to establish.
The cabling ends at the boost unit which for ailerons is midship. The actuating force to the ailerons is carried within the wings by push-pull tubes. I presume that's one reason the emergency response to a cable failure is to switch to autopilot. The autopilot controls the boost unit hydraulically, bypassing all cabling.
