perfect ailerons
Well I assume it depends on your definition of "perfect". Most "modern" ailerons move differentially, increasing drag on the lower wing, so so that the occupant's feet can remain flat on the floor.
In older aircraft, with my definition of "perfect ailerons", it's the pilot's feet moving the rudder that makes the aircraft turn, not the ailerons.
