Default RE: do ailerons provide lift?

Lets go back to the original question and here it is.

I was looking at my partialy completed plane and noticed how much larger the wing looks when I hold the ailerons up to it. (they are not installed yet). I understand the function of the ailerons is to control or direct the air flow ( i guess), but does it provide lift when in the nuetral state?

Please note the question was about when the ailerons were in the "Neutral State".

I stand by my answers. And not to be nit picking, but I have been working for engineers as a lab tech for close to 30 years in the flow business and have learned long ago to pay attention to the question.
