i did a test wing and was surprised how little weight it added. the key is to do it correctly. its like building a kit. if you glob on glue and epoxy and dont clean it off well it turns into a brick. I do think repair might be a bit more of a pain with glass, but i will deal with that when the time comes.

Repairs are pretty easy.
You remove the damaged are replace structure and sheathing as needed. Sand it down good feather the existing glass edges the put on the new glass overlapping the feathered edge. Sand smooth after it hardens put on a second coat of epoxy, then sand and paint.
But you will be surprised at how rugged a glassed airplane is, it will take a good deal more abuse then any other finish.

Gee, I thought that was just to cure the older type of resins.
I did not notice any warp in the last two wings I have done (yet) I will have to keep an eye on that...
