Sorry Martin,

the 20 has full-span ailerons which aren't tiny by any means.
Negative flaps on initial ground roll is standard procedure for any flapped
ship, and if you do it with the 20, it is pretty difficult to drop a wing.

Yes, I know the flaps deflect half as far as the ailerons, but there's
still very little bite below 30-35 kts even with a notch of reflex flap
and the ground roll felt very busy at first.

I had a wing drop or two among my first flights in my 20 - something I
never experienced on the club's Peg - or the Williams Soaring one
either. I don't recall much difference in the weather conditions during
those launches either - certainly nothing worth commenting on.
