Default Glassing a .40-sized F-18 hornet?

Guys, I'm working on a 40-sized pusher prop F-18 hornet from RCM plans and since there are a few locations that need to reinforced with fiberglass, I thought about simply glassing the entire airplane to finish it.

Does anyone have any advice or experience on glassing a .40-size airplanes (assuming that the fiberglass finish is decent and not too heavy)? Anyone recommend it or not? If I don't glass the airplane, I would probably finish it with monocote, however, before I make a decision, I would really like to hear your opinions and any advice you would like to share.

These forums have been really helpful and have taught me valuable information so I'd like to thank all the members and admin on RCU. Thanks!!.
