Default RE: Clancy 'Big Bee'-no ailerons?

The bees are designed to fly well without ailerons because of the polyhedral wing design. The rudder rolls this plane almost as if it were ailerons. Put the rudder on the right stick and pretend it is an aileron control while you fly. The biggest difference between aileron turns and rudder turns is that a plane tends to dive more with rudder than with ailerons.

Someone at our club built one of these planes and put photos of club members in the windows of this plane.
