Besides the wingtips, I am building new Vertical Stabilizer, Rudder, and Elevators.

The Plans show using 5/16" for most all of this. I could not find 5/16" 6061 T6 so I bought 3/8" instead.

What do you guys think? Will that be OK to use?

Thanks Chris

Sure it is ok to use but you will building heavy and flying tail heavy forever.

Would'nt the heavier tubing on the elevator and rudder make em more likely 

to flutter?
