It would be pretty easy and cheap to use zote foam to fill in the gaps if you thought it necessary. I am surprised that no one here has worked with it.

Here is my biggest creation with it.

It is made from 1/2" thick foam with a minimal plastic/carbon/balsa frame. The chassis is a Catrike, Pocket.
