Default Aileron linkage

I have a linkage/construction question. I'm building a delta wing, 36" span, 254 sq in wing area. Looking at the plane from the front, it has dihedral, then the wing tips angle out flat, level with the ground. These wingtips are 6" long each.

Here's the question: how can I get elevon linkage out on the wing tips from the center of the 'fuselage'?

Because of weight, I didn't want to have to use wire pushrods 15 or 16" long. Plus, the wingtips are angled again, so there'd be binding in a wire pushrod. Are there small cables that might work here? Does anyone have an idea that would help?

Thanks!
