It is a good looking concept. 6 kgs can be a good value for the elevator but I think its too much for the aileron movement. (at cruising speed at least)

As a thumb rule, aircraft designers use the following force pattern:

Aileron: 1x N
Elevator: 2X N
Rudder: 4x N

Where x is the current indicated control force

What CAD software do you use?
