This structure is what holds your engine to the plane and handles the torsional stresses of the engine and tail section and no doubt a whole lot of other critical functions that I, and probably you, have no clue about. I know that there is no way that I would bet everything that my "guess" was right, no matter what kind of cloth was used. I find it hard to believe that the properties of glass and wood are similar enough that they can just be "swapped" out without some serious engineering and testing. If you plan to do that engineering and testing, then you need to choose the cloth to do it with.
