Default Ailerons on a Kadet Sr.

I am re-building a Sr. wing, reducing the dihedral to one inch at each wing tip, and installing barn door ailerons. My question is: how many rib bays should I use for the ailerons? My Kadet Sr ARF uses 7 bays, I would like to use only 6, will this be enough?

The other part of the equation is the ailerons chord. Mine uses five bays with a chord of three inchs and this also worked well.
