Look ubder the baggage compartment, and you will find tyhe "mixer" -
wieck's
mechanism to produce the aeliron effect. It is quite an ingenious device
and
allows the aelrions to move different travesl. You are right Percy, the
differential movement reduces adverse yaw , allowing the coupe to turn
easily
with out the "up Wing" creating more drag, as the airplane turns.... 

It is a nice solution, and combioned with 3 degrees of dihedrial - v shape
of
wing mounting - the combination makes the coupe fly nicely with
coordinated
rudders.

Some ultralites utilize "excess dihedrial" to help solve the adverse yaw,
without using any rudder. In a turn, the upper wing, already at an angle -
even more of an angle when in a turn looses lift, as compared to the lower
wing. Loss of lift, loss of drag = less adverse yaw...

Hoipe this makes sense.

Fly safe - have fun
