This is an interesting concept. These guys have built a 3-axis aircraft using one of their high performance trike wings.

Not too sure about spoileron control effectiveness but I think that’s a function of the canvas wing and lack of structure to mount ailerons to. Tail feathers look “compact”. Certainly good for thought.
