Stupid me. I forgot something. OK, deflecting an aileron is like deflecting a flap. If you look at a lift curve from a wing section you can see that deflecting a flap (aileron) increases the lift coefficient, but you also reduce your stall angle. That would be enough to do it for that portion of the airfoil.
