You don't have positive G all the way around in an aileron roll.

In a properly done aileron roll you certainly do...

To maintain positive G, you need a barrel roll.

Or an aileron roll. Were you thinking of a slow roll?

I'm confused. Please describe a properly done aileron roll.

Check out http://acro.harvard.edu/ACRO/acro_figures.html#rolls for a
brief description.

I have some glider acro training and lot's of RC model acro. I think of
axial rolls and barrel rolls. Both benefit from aileron, elevator and
rudder input. I've thought that aileron roles are synonymous with axial and
slow rolls synonymous with barrel rolls.

Hmmm. Aileron rolls are closer to barrell rolls, slow rolls with axial
rolls. In fact, a slow roll is a roll around the longitudinal axis; an
aileron roll does not keep the longitudinal axis of the plane straight
ahead...
