What do I need to look for if I buy silk for a 36'' WS kit? Can I use any silk? I have never used it but I think the looks of it would be much better on this plane then plastic.
If you want the look of fabric you might consider SolarTex. Iron-on, heat-shrink, pre-colored or uncolored-paintable.

Covering with silk requires a bit of prep., and filling the weave with dope/paint.... can be a real chore.
