Default newbie spad builder

Hi, I am building a spad dubut and I have some downspout, but it is squeezed fairly easily, and I don't know if it should or not. So what do you experienced guys say?

Don't worry about that..........but you do have to install a ply firewall. That stiffens the front, and then when the wing is attached, that stiffens the fuse area!!!

Battle on!!!

the problem I am having is that it is really thin, and I'm worried that the control horns and vertical stab braces wont be strong enough
