Default Is it ok 3mm Coro for fuse, tail and stab ?

Hi guys,
We only have 2mm, 3mm and 5 mm.
Now most plan state 4mm for body, stab and tail,

I was wondering if 3mm will suffice or should I opt for 5mm ?
5mm will be more weight. What if i use 3mm for tail and stab and put bamboo skewers in the flutes and glue them there as added structural support ?

Thanks !

Btw, can somebody show me link to the plan for wing jig ?
I found it yesterday but forgot to save it and can't find it since.
Its the one where you use a groove on a sheet and press the coro from the top by two handles.
