Default RE: Ailerons Thicker than Wing Trailing Edge

I remember reading somewhere that it is bad to have the ailerons thicker than the wing,

My research and experience says just the opposite. Many years ago Diamond Dust RC accidentally shipped out some kits with 1/4" ailerons when the trailing edge of the wing was 3/8". Most of the planes built with strong engines for speed had flutter.
