I was wondering why the water balloon was getting bigger... and then it hit me.

Looking for opinions as someone brought up a concern of sagging on my build thread. I am doing a 5 wide and my spars are ripped down 2X4's. The way I have them installed they are 1.5" wide and 1 1/8" tall. However because of how they were ripped the vertical side is the long side of the original 2x4. Make sense?
Gonna have 1/8" outer and inner skins with 1" foam board insulation.
So? Should I be worried? Do I need to ad more supports? Or should the sandwich effect of the skin and spars be plenty strong?
