I started a thread in the Glider, Sailplane Forums about the same plane. You might want to open one there.

Anyone have any thoughts about horizontal stabs with dihedral or making them flat?

Basically no IMHO.

If you want to go down the ailerons flaperons route start with a different design. Something with right sort of variable speed wing section like a MH32.
