I'm building a Bird of Time. Never heard of it being called an Albatross before. There seems to be a renaissance of RES
(Rudder, Elevator, Spoiler) sailplanes of late. But ailerons are fine, if that's the way you want to go. Personally, I like the simplicity of RES. They fly just fine and can be quite maneuverable. But, no propellers allowed! Then, it's not a sailplane any more. It's a motor glider. But feel free to go in whatever direction you want.
