Man.... I have been looking at their L39 and Hawk?
I have started thinking about selling my soon to arrive SM Large Hawk to get one of their kits. But may have to wait and make it the next project.

On the ailerons, I leave them in that position all the time. Its very subtle. I should clerify too, they arent raised relative to the actual airfoil, at least at the tips. There seems to be a little inaccuracy in a flap so when the ailerons are aligned with the flap at the TE, they are actually slightly drooped at the tip.
When raised a little (1.5mm) above the flap at the TE, they are neutral when sighted from the tip.
Important thing here is sight them from the tip and be sure they arent drooped at all. Wash-in is bad.
Yeah, the SM is a BAE Hawk, not really a T-45. The T-45 has lots of differences..... dual nose wheels, single ventral on bottom, speed boards on side, "smurfs" in front of the stab.... But, like a lot of you guys, I like the T-45 schemes....
