Raising the ailerons will create some drag, but the main effect will be a loss of lift. You slow a plane down by using up elevator. If you're having trouble slowing it by doing that, you may be nose-heavy. Try moving the balance point back (just a small amount at a time). Have an experienced pilot fly your plane and get his opinion.
