Default TE of the ailerons

Hey guys, Can anyone tell me WHY the trailing edge of the ailerons is not tapered down to a knife edge? I talked to a friend who has flown for 15 years and he told me that they just work better that way. Is it a strength issue for models. It would seem to me that they would add a ton of drag and reduce the performance to a degree. Thanks Dave...[sm=confused.gif]
