Default Combat Wing Tape

I am new to combat slope wings.

I recently purchased a 'Prairie Dog' which is like a Zagi or any other EPP slope combat wing.

What kind of tape do you use to cover the wings?

I understand that I will need strapping tape for strength. What brand and width do I need? Any cheap sources?

Also, I see that colored tapes are used to cover the final build? Same question. What kind, width, brand, thickness....etc?

Any low cost sources for these?

And finally I see that I will need tape for the hinges. Same questions with this too.

There are no building instructions with the kit. I spoke with Jack the kit manufacturer and he is working on an instruction sheet. It's not a problem as it appears very simple and there are online manuals for Zagis and other similar models that I can follow.

The tape issues are really what I need help with.

Thanks for any help.
