For the fuselage i don't think you can replace any of the balsa frames with depron, at least not without increasing the thickness significantly to have the same strength. This would require a complete redesign of the structure in the area of the depron parts due to the large number of interlocking parts.
thank you for taking the time to elaborate your response. You invested a lot of time to get this great design. I am not likely to change any bit of it so I will patiently try to find the adequate balsa you indicate
