I agree with all the other replies, this plane would have way too high a wing loading to fly well if it were 'glassed. I don't like Monocoat either, but it's light and about the only thing out there that mimics a metal surface (I say Monocoat as a generic to all film covers) Fiberglassing is pretty ambitious for a first kit project unless you have experience with it in other areas. I'm not sure what the projected flying weight of that particular kit is, but fiberglass on a .60 size plane, or even a .40 size is possible. The additional weight would require it to be flown much faster to perform well, and its takeoff and landing speeds would be much greater, as well as its stall speed. I assume that if this is your second plane, you're fairly new to flying also; I'd have to say that you're going to find that this plane flies a lot different from a trainer, any way, without increasing its weight. Build it as light as possible. Good Luck
