You've done it both ways. What's your opinion vis a vis the capped vs.
non-capped ailerons? As applied to snap rolls and other figures? Bill

Re: No fixed tips?</div>

Again, with the full-size: Notice that such luminaries as Boeing,
Douglas, et.al don't run their ailerons to the tips, but instead stop
short? As Troy and Doug have stated, the wingtip vortices generated
are the reason. I had a long discussion with Dick Hanson about this,
and he stated that "it didn't make any difference on our models."
Well, from what Troy has discovered about aileron pots, it seems it
DOES make a difference.<br>
