Default world models l.a. flyer totally modded??

well im wondering what you guys think about a highly modified l.a. flyer, i put about 2 degrees anhedral in the wing because it is a high-mid wing aircraft i counterbalanced and lengethened the rudder about 1 3/4 inches i also lengethened the inner part of the ailerons on an angle to about half of the wings wingspan i also changed the canopy to a taller and longer bubble canopy that gives the plane alot more side area for knife edge and im about to make small side force generating flat balsa on the main landing gear giving that a surface for minium lift on knife edge and looking at the wing tips they slope from the trailing edge to the leading edge and when the plane is just on the side theres already 30 degress of an angle of attack made by the wingtips im using a 46 fx but i got a .50 and a rossi 53 im just putting this plane together because its a cheaper alternative of flying my bigger gassers i want to achieve an precision and a ok 3-d flying airplane i think im gunna enlarge the elavator by just a hair but im not to sure if i should but i think its alright because i want the elevator not to be to efficient but it will be tail heavy enough to do high alpha harriers and also to compensate for the semi-symmetrical wing because when i flip it up side down that will compensate for down elevator. tell me what you think
