Well that Ultimate is a beuty. Do you have the weight of this plane?

I found this diagram of weights for different coverings:
http://www.homefly.com/reference/Cov...%20Product.htm

Basically it states that Solartex has a weight of 90grams/sq meter.
While Koverall has a weight of 46grams/sq meter.

As a comperison Monocote is 71.5grams/sq meter (average).
Ultracote is 79grams/sq meter (average).

As I understand the big different comes from that Solartex has glue applied to it compared to Koverall. Allthogh finer weave and taking less paint, but still twice the weight!!! What about using silk, could that be an alternative, or a combination of silk (over sheeted areas if not fiberglassed) and Koverall/Solartex over the fuz?
