REFLECTOR: Aileron Torque Tube

[Milehitaz at aol.com]

Question for the collective,
 
The original aluminum torque tube stock I received with my kit was badly  
bent in a Bi-fold hangar door incident a while back and I need to order new  
stock. 
 
I vaguely remember something about folks going to steel tubing VS the  
Aluminum between the bearing and the connection to the Aileron. 
 
If memory serves me the modification was because there was a belief the  
Aluminum was "twisting or flexing" at high speeds and not providing all intended  
input. I see in the newest version of the construction manual the factory 
still  lists the Aluminum tube.... Anyone flying have input here?
 
Thank you in advance for your help.
