A certain modeler in Argentina made his dream come true. . .flying his simple homebuilt named 'Kangaroo'.

That would be outstanding on a calm morning

Looks like 2 axis control. Great on a calm day.

The owner's comment:
Victor Serda: el motor es chino de 15 hp , bajo costo y bajo consumo relacion de reductora 1 x 1.5 ....
"The engine is Chinese 15 HP, low cost and low - consumption relationship of the type of 1 x 1.5...."
Not bad at all that travels 45 kilometer in one hour as stated

He could have spoilerons on the top surface of the wings. They destroy the lift over that section of the wing, inducing roll. And they don't induce any twisting moment on the wing (which would be too whammy to handle it, & could lead to control reversal).
But I cant see any control wires for spoilerons in the pic.

Polyhedral wing set-up simplifies a 2 axis stability..calm condition is a must..
A single cylinder Rotax with floats on it could be much more enjoyable
