Obviously little things like snap swivels, eyebolts, motor hooks are OK. But I'm considering using this as a subframe/armature to sculpt a nosecone:

I figure I would drape this over a lightweight balsa subframe, rough out the shape, and cover with tissue paper laid up with ModPodge (or maybe ultralight fiberglass w/ epoxy).
Because it's an expanded aluminum mesh, it certainly seems lightweight and crushable enough to be safe as long as I don't have any sharp bits sticking out...what do you think? Legal under the safety code?
Thanks,
Mike
