Coordinated flight produces the minimum drag flight condition. How you get it is not all that important. Wouldn't minimal surface deflections, a combination of ailerons, flaps, rudder, and possibly elevator, reduce drag during a roll? RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Yes, capping the ailerons with ply and the subtrailing edges with thickened epoxy will definitely add some strength to the wing. This will also keep moisture out which can cause the wing to de-laminate. This is the way to go if your going to be flying slope. Dave In a message dated 7/10/01
