Default Covering Advice?

Just got a Hog Bipe for Xmas, and been doing my research before I start on the kit. This is my 3rd kit (all SIG) and 4th plane.

I'm looking for some options for covering. To date, I've done all my planes with Ultracote with good luck, it's easy to apply and repair. Was thinking of trying fabric this time around, being a bipe it just crys out for cloth covering.

Horizon offers something called "worldtex". I've seen it mentioned here but have no experience with it. Is this the same as solartex? Any good? Is it thin, or thick like coverite? Does it apply to itself for detailing? (you can tell I use ultracote with that question).

I'm not interested in working with silk and dope, it's gotta be an iron on covering. Any opinions, experiences or suggestions would be welcome. Thanks!
