Default RE: Rounded Trailing Edges????

I've done it both ways- depends on the plane. I custom build as well and I haven't hadn't any problems rounding the TE's when called for. Ailerons do, however, demand even rounding. If there is a thicker or shallower area left on the TE it can cause turbulance and different lift characteristics between the wing halves.
