Short field Landings and stalling

Do these ultralight tacky plastic things have a wing with an equal angle of incidence, or do they have washout?
That's still my argument in relation to teaching the SSR here in the UK, with it's "don't use aileron to pick up a dropped wing" method. Why the hell would you set yourself up to enter a spin, when coordinated use of aileron and rudder would be the better option?! Even better, reduce the AoA with elevator, then level the wings, then increase AoA again if you're trying to achieve minimum controllable airspeed.
