Contender;
Reference your question on the single aileron:

No! Not really a good alternative to practice and good flying. The single aileron takes more control to do the job than conventional. It does fly the aircraft and allows for good control during high speed. Aileron roll up for turns seem to resemble a boat sliding up a wave sideways. During low speed/landings and say 25 mph winds the wing has a tendency of losing it's effectiveness and stalling.
