Default RE: do ailerons provide lift?



If the ailerons are tapered they add lift. If the aileron is a flat plank I'd say no lift, just wing area. If the aileron is not in the neutral position, it adds drag to the airfoil... Is drag considered lift?

Do I know for sure? Nope.

I love this hobby...[8D]
