: Use it if you have to! Be prepared for a couple to break . . . but
: once the frame is complete, the skin will support your stringers
: pretty well.

: Good luck!

That was one of the main things I was wondering; if it will hold together enough to assemble is it likely to be fine in use? If the skin supports it from the outside it might be able to hold up ok. I might try to increase the size of the stringers just in case.
