Default Glass or cover?

Unless you are going for some really serious automotive deep gloss paint scheme, or some airbrushed chicks with swords or something, your hot spot will not really look very different if you paint the wings and fins instead of monokoting them. The monokote matches the gelcoat very well, and you'll save a pound, more or less, depending on how you paint. Plus, it will be a lot easier to repair the scuffs and scrapes on the tips of the fins if she flips over on landing, which seems to happen a lot with that model.
Unless you really want a very nice, very special paint job(which you might), then glassing it does not really add anything except a bunch of work and weight.
