Default Foam wing Lay Up

Has anyone tried to do a foam quickee wing, without the balsa skin?

I saw a great how-to video by Phil Barnes who primarly works on Sail Plane wings. He showed construction of fiberglass / carbon fiber / kevlar without skinning the foam initially with balsa.

Could this technique be used in quickee while retaining the strength and lightness of a conventionally built foam / balsa wing?
