I'm building a plane roughly the size of a Magician with elevator only (no flaps). The problem is I don't have a reliable elevator joiner wire right now. I do have a spruce or basswood spar, and a birch dowel, that could use instead. All I would need to do is cut a notch into each elevator, epoxy in the joiner, and shape the whole thing (round the leading edge, etc), as well as lengthen the notch for the stab in the fuselage to account for the wooden joiner.
I can also use some fiberglass to wrap the joint to reinforce it.
Before I actually do it, is this just a bad idea? I don't have any 3/32" wire handy, and would have to get a wire bender anyways, and all of that would take time (I'm being impatient about this stage).
