Jack,
We tried it, for exactly the same reasons you mention (Cost of long span wings, seeming simplicity of construction, availability of aluminum). I will not go so far as to say the results were "laughable", but we abandoned it very quickly!
That being said, we have seen, and admired, some of your "handiwork". Give it a try, and treat it as a learning experience. If you want an idea of what is really involved in producing an effective aero piece, call John Goss at Pennon Composites 315-498-4401.
Incidentally, the longer span wing is much more effective than the wider cord, but you probably already know that.
