Right on Dude. My sentiments exactly, EXCEPT, is it ~soaring related~

Yes, capping the ailerons with ply and the subtrailing edges with thickened
epoxy will definitely add some strength to the wing. This will also keep
moisture out which can cause the wing to de-laminate. This is the way to go
if your going to be flying slope.

It seems to me that if edges are sealed with

Most of the new helicopter gyros have an option to drive servos at a high

Wouldn't minimal surface deflections, a combination of ailerons,
flaps, rudder, and possibly elevator, reduce drag during a
roll?

Forgot to mention, aileron differential can balance drag, but
only for a limited range of airspeed. Again, I assume that
the goal is efficient thermal turns (not high speed turns),
so this speed range limitation is not much of an issue.
