Deflection? Of the structure? Or are you suggesting a sudden change in angle of attack, due to the release of the feather lockout? --I'll assume the later.

The center of drag, of the feathers, is well above and behind the pivot point. So how does this induce a change to the angle of attack?

Also of note, it has been stated that the feathers need to be driven upward.
