My club uses 2 inch wide crepe paper with a 3/4" wide piece of masking tape running down the center of the streamer. They hold together pretty well. If you have a really fast plane you will loose about three to four feet during the flight. I made a simple hand crank machine that applies the tape right down the middle so adding the tape to a roll of crepe paper only takes about 5 minutes. In fact my club just had their Open Combat event today where we used these streamers in very hight winds.
