Default Do YOU single-clutch ?

Of all the quirky Model A traits, shifting must be number one. Like most, I double-clutch on upshifts. Some have mastered single-clutching on the upshifts. How do you do that ? Also wondering about downshifting when turning corners. Downshifting to second of course requires raising the rpm before the downshift. To the unexperienced Model Aer, turning corners is a multitasked procedure which is like playing a picolo while stacking BBs - brake, turn signl, neutral, increse rpm, shift, turn signal etc. My only question here is do you downshift before or after the turn ? Still cool to drive a stick ---- VERY COOL to drive a Model A !
