Default Glazing?

Hi,

I am new to the forums and I am going up a level in flight, I have purchased a F27 Stryker and am wondering if glazing the plane would make the hardened foam stronger and help keep things from breaking apart in a crash. What I want to do is paint the plain and get away from that foam look also. Is it possible to glaze this plane? and if so will it make it a little stronger for crashes? Any info would be great.

I would not go this way. The extra weight is not worth it. The Stryker will handle a lot of abuse even without extra materials on it. And if it goes in really hard, it can still be glued back together. If you really want to try it, use lightweight cloth.
