Default RE: Lanier Extra 300s 1/4 scale kit

I am making slow progress... Anyways, the latest in my build is going for cuped hingelines. I have enlarged the ailerons by approx 20% by extending them towards the wingroot. Enlarged the rudder by approx 40%, enlarged the elev by approx 30%. The rudder and elev is made from build up wood (=same weight as the smaller sized stock balsa sheeted foam core).

Obviously this is not a 3D plane considering its older design, its wingloading (fairly small wingarea) and the smaller sized controlsurfaces. Nor am I trying to make it a 3D plane. My ambition is to have a well flying plane, basically a good aerobat (built straight and with a low weight). However, I want bigger controlsurfaces in order to be able to hover.
