Default Lamination schedule and mold release

2 questions. First, what would you all recommend for the lamination schedule on this model? It’s 42” span. I was thinking that 2 layers 4 ounce might be enough, but I’m not sure...
Second, I’ve been messing around with parting planes. I was going to do a top bottom split, but I’ve been thinking and I don’t think my canopy will release unless I split the top in half? Am I correct in this belief? I also decided to mold the rudder with the top fuse, so I’m looking at a 4 piece top mold, which is fine. I think I’ll be happier with the outcome. Any thought are appreciated.

for clarification, not the lamination schedule on the mold, but on the parts I produce from the mold. I’ve got my mold materials all figured out.
