Interesting. Is it possible to use the flight control surfaces to maintain lift on one side of the aircraft to compensate for a lack of landing gear on that side during the rollout?
Yep it is. No right main gear so control yoke hard left, hold the wing up, no spoiler auto-deploy on touchdown and just let it come down slowly as the plane loses airspeed.
