I don't think we have any of those around here, we have the first code writers, the first CAD engineers, the first clean room operators.........well you get the idea. We have one guy here who has a YS115 powered P-40 set up with a single aileron, it has a bit more cord and he flies on one rate and lands on a higher rate. I've paid very close attention to his flying and at the end of the day I can't tell it only has a single. May be different on a smaller model with lower Reynolds numbers though.
