I can't tell you how it flies with ailerons, but I can tell you how it flies without. FANTASTIC! I had so much fun with mine it should have been illegal. It's not a pattern airplane, wasn't designed for that. However, if you want to practice your hovering landings in a light headwind this is the plane for you. Inverted flight all day long - no problem. I flew mine for years with a ST.29 - flew great. This airplane would do the prettiest hammerhead stall you ever saw on 3 channels. I would go through a tank of gas just chasing my flying partner around the pattern doing touch and go's. I accidently went IFR with it one day in the foggy California winter - let the sticks go until it popped out of the fog (wings level of course!). Ah, the good old days!
