I'm going to Reno and have to demonstrate a 5g pullup. I'm putting an engine 
with twice the power the plans call for in the thing and it's going to be 
way, way faster than originally intended. But then I'm also putting less 
seats in it than designed, so I'd most likely be fine without the extra 
strength.

But fir is substantially cheaper and easier to find than spruce, too :)
