The one I fly does. I don't know if it's universal.

The term "Frise" refers to a type of aileron that has a nose that sticks
down into the airstream when the aileron is raised, thus creating drag and
helping to coordinate the turn, no?

I have not heard of Frise Flaps before.

Understood.

I have never done that, you know! <g> (choke gasp)

So, if the PA28 does have "Differential ailerons", is the drag created
by the up moving aileron just enough to correct for the "adverse yaw"
or does it correctly yaw your plane through the turns ?

It's been my experience with the PA-28 that rudder is still required
to counteract adverse yaw.
