I've opened windows in 150/152/172/182 and 206 and never noticed any 
roll or need for any aileron and for certain "nearly full" aileron was 
not needed.  Even with the jump door open on the 182 and 206 rudder or 
aileron is not needed.  Was something else going on to cause you to need 
aileron?

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
