Hi Paul , I will be using the fiberglass nose section as well.I will befiberglassing all empenages and surfaces withe exception to the rudder and elevators. Fiberglassing will add structural strength and it will resist the normal dings better than a fabric covering . I would also suggest looking through the other threads here on RCU . There is great deal of information available in these threads .
