Default RE: Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 build

OK guys, need some advice.

I finished both wing's up to the point where I'm putting the TE & Aileron stuff on and luck would have it 3 out of 4 of the Aileron stock in the kit are warped too badly to fix. I figured I'd just go buy some, but unfortunately I can't find anywhere that sells Aileron stock this big. I need 1/2 inch wide by 1-3/4 long Aileron stock & the largest I can find is 3/8 inch. [:@]

This got me to thinking a little becuase the Ultimate appears to be lacking in the Aileron department for 3D type flying, so I wonder what you guys would think of going to 2 inch Aileron's versus 1-3/4 inch? I saw that http://www.nationalbalsa.com has 3/8 x 2 Aileron stock and I could glue 1/16 sheeting on each side of it to build it up to 1/2 " and have an extra 1/4 inch of surface length available.

Should I call goldberg & have them send me some new ones or should I try to build up bigger ailerons?
