Default help on recovering an old cl champ

im totally restoring an old control line aeronca champ with a madewell 49 ing engine, plane was covered in a fabrick and i have a dated blk white pic showing the plane on 1956.

i have totally stripped it down, madce several repairs and had the engine rebuilt, and newly wired, plan to recover it and hang it in sons room.

heres the question: what fabric covering should i use? dont want the covering to shrink up it would explode it apart, its real brittle...need help...its a cool old plane and i wont give up on it thanks

They were covered with silk and doped, good luck no that hard if you have done it before.
