Default Should I re-do my Avistar wing?

.Well,
Whatever but it sure would be nice to know why/how/who went from the wood dowel to steel or vice versa and why.
But as Dan pointed out the wooden dowel can crack under stress and you can't see it because it's glued in place.
So if you epoxy the 2 halves you can still tear off a wing.
The epoxy will just tear off from the balsa it's glued on to.
I'm just guessing all this from other post I read
