Yost style frame and I just have a screw at each joint as a temporary clamp. I know it's going to stiffen up a lot once I glue the joints because I can see it flex at the string and rib joints now. I was wondering how much and figured the real stiffness had to come with the skin since it tied everything together into an almost monocoque chassis.
