Hi!
Oracover is much lighter then using Duct-tape for covering and suits smaller models like my 211cm span, 3,6kg Marutaka DC-3 better than using Duct tape. However, I used aluminium duct tape on some details ,like the engine cowlings, wingsaddle and nose cone on the fuselage where radius was too small for Oracover to be used.
