Default Carbon Fiber vs plywood

Hello,

I'm wondering if there are people out there that have worked with carbon plate. I'm building an A-10 that I know is going to be tail heavy and the plans call for 1/8th inch plywood bulkheads/cross-sections in the fuselage. As well as 1/8th inch plywood for the engine nacelles construction. Aside from the expense, would 1/8th inch carbon fiber plate work in it's place and lighten the tail?

Any advice is sincerely appreciated
