Default Oversize ailerons

OK, please dont slap me, i know its a cub, but its having a identity crisis. Im taking my friends Funtana ailerons and mounting them on my 1/4 cub. The fit, however, the have a longer cord than the original ailerons. My question is, can I oversize the ailerons like the picture below? I really dont want to have to cut further into the wing. The wings were folded up, so i choped them down to 87 inchs and hope to enlarge the ailerons for better aerobatics, yes aerobatics.

Have at it... would not expect any adverse situations, other than requiring more rudder in turns... However... since it is now a "bas**** Cub", can you change the color to, say.... Red???

Cheers!

I love how you call my cub a Bas**** Cub, really do, fits right in. I plan on recovering the plane. I want to finish it up this week, and cover it next week test flying it friday evening and possibly take it to Bomber field as a joke, and see if theyll let me fly the bas**** cub.
