Spoilers function the same as ailerons at low angles of attack and

Spoilers also reduce or eliminate adverse yaw.

I assume there must be some disadvantages of spoilers for roll control as
you see them so rarely. What are the drawbacks? Cost??

What happens when the wing is inverted? If you are pushing negative Gs
then the roll control will be reversed?


It would work the same. The wing doesn't know that it is inverted, all it
knows is AOA.
