Default Add a Channel to 2-Channel X 4' Sailplane?

I'm building a simple 2C X 4' sailplane for my granddaughter.

The flightpack I purchased comes W/3 servos & I am wondering if it would be advantageous to add an aileron channel for aileron/flaperon capabilities.



If so, should I add ailerons on the dihedral tips of the straight center section. I was thinking of using plastic core flex cable to actuate W/1 servo in the center of the wing.



I started R/C over 15 years ago, but sailplanes are new to me. Any experienced input would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a better choice than the aileron/flaperon option?

Should I leave it as is & keep the servo for a spare?
