Default First kit/ second plane

I am starting my first kit this weekend. It's a house of basla texan. It has a 44" wing span. The kit does not look very difficult to build. My only question is can I fiberglass the fuse instead of monokote. Also I would like to sheet and glass the wing also. Will that make the plane to heavy? Or could I atleast get away with just glassing the fuse? I just don't like the monokote. I have a friend who will help me if I use it. I just don't like how it gets all wrinkled and have to iron it out. Any advice here would be great. You guys have given me some good tips in the past.
Thanks
Patrick
