Default Kestrel 2M

I started flying R/C aircraft (powered flight) back in 1973 with my father. We flew together for 16 years. I then moved out of state because of a job relocation. Those 16 years that we flew together were the best 16 years of my life!! Now, after an almost 20 years absence, I have decided to return to this great hooby, this time, with my son! The only difference for me this time is that I chose to return flying sailplanes instead of powered aircraft. I purchased a Kestrel 2M sailplane a couple of years ago but never built it. I am about to start work on this project and I am wondering if any of you have any experience building this sailplane? Although I am not new to building R/C aircraft, I am new to building sailplanes. This kit has optional spoilers, should I add these to this plane? Are they necessary? Any advice or comments in regards to any aspect of this build would be a great help!

Thanks,
