Besides doing what S.S. said, I'd make the torque rods out of 1/8" or even 5/32" (if possable ) music wire and making the ailerons out of as stiff (tortionally ) a Balsa as you can find.

You can also make the torque "rods" out of a larger dia. tubing.

I had a glass fuse. Banshee...don't remember if it was Skyglass or Airborne Associates right off hand, but I converted it to strip ailerons. I used 1/8" music wire for the torque rods, and used 1.25" aileron stock and stopped the ailerons about 3" from the tip.
Mine had a pumped K&B .61 for power and fixed gear (I was 16 and couldn't afford retracts back then, in '76 ) so it wasn't exactly what you'd call fast.
