Default ailerons for world engines 3 channel champ

I have an old World Engines 3 channel Champ kit. I would like to try to install working ailerons on this model. There are aileron outlines shown on the plans, but no mention of adding or how to make working ailerons. This is a 52" wing with 5 degrees of dihedral. Should I leave this 5 degreees in or make the wing straight? Can anyone help me with these calculations? is it better to just leave it as a 3 channel plane? I just thought the ailerons would be a nice touch. Thank you

If you decide to install ailerons reduce the dihedral by half.
