TINSFOS question

am curious about 16.5m wing extensions, are ailerons usually
incorporated into these, or if the existing aileron/flaperon ran full
span to begin with, would the roll rate suffer if the extension did
not include the control surface?
BTW...................Mr. Moffat inspired me when I saw him sawing the
tip of his big Cirrus and gluing on that tip extension!
also................I really like the polyhedral look, is that pretty
typical for modern extensions?
Thanks,
Brad
PS..........TINSFOS was the big debate during the Russia SIFOW
controversy!
Extending the ailerons allows the airfoil to be consistent to the tip
which helps maintain expected spanwise lift distribution.
It DOES complicate things.
FWIW
