Yes, I would not put any screws in it. For things like servo mounts I lay up a panel made from 2 sheets of 1/32 ply and 3 sheets of 5.7 oz CF cloth. I also use this for gear plated and firewalls. Ken has seen some of this. The Divinicell material I use anywhere you would use balsa or lite ply. I'm not a big honeycomb fan, it's only real strength is in compression. As far as using a Divinicell laminate for fuselage sides and such, I think it would be better to just stick with balsa, but to be fair I have not experimented with it in this fashion.
