I used taffeta for the hinge on 2 of the wings. I used 2 ounce fiberglass cloth on the other.

The fiberglass cloth went on smoother. The taffeta appears less likely to break due to flexing.

I haven't used the Dave Norman method using sheet fiberglass.

In a few days the models should be ready to test fly, weather permitting. I am interested if there is a flying advantage.
