OK, I think I have it. There're (roughly) similar problems with the
transonic stuff I fly but for some different reasons. Surely there are
some buffet isssues with the ailerons at large displacements as well?

I've not noticed aileron buffet in the 38 even at max deflection. The
ailerons are extremely effective on the airplane.
About buffet; you actually work high performance jets like the 38 by
using the buffet boundary. You can pull the pole and feel the buffet
onset in pitch. It's a highly effective warning when maneuvering hard.


you're talking mach buffet now, right? not normal flow seperation..

I would have thought you might get buffet problems with large deflections
in and around transonic flight. We can, certainly, but our airplanes aren't
desingned for supersonic flight, of course..
