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.
