They tried something similar on a school 150 at Kupper about 20 years ago. I

Worked like a charm -- until they got about 1,000' off the ground. That melted
snow re-froze and welded the ailerons in the neutral position. They made their
way through the pattern by opening doors to turn. When they got down, they stayed.
