Default Sturdy Birdy

Hello, i just got my new Hobbico Sturdy Birdy and i would like to ask the following: I can either build the airplane with or without ailerons. What would you suggest to do ? Fly only with rudder+elevator or should i also add ailerons? I am not new to full-house flying(ailerons) , i just got the Sturdy Birdy for fun and as a third or even fourth aircraft.

Note: If i do not use the ailerons i have to glue them permanently on the trailing edge which means that i will also get 5% more wing area!

Note2: I will use a 40 size engine not a 25 which is also a consideration in my decision to add ailerons or not.

I appreciate your advice and any (if any) experience with this particular airplane.
