Default Another covering question...

I'm building a 1/2A size electric-powered semi-scale Super Cub. The fuse is very lightweight stick construction.
I'm after a lightweight but strong and easy-to-work-with covering material in Cub Yellow.
Ultracote? Others?

Check out CoverLite by Coverite it is quit strong and weighs less than an ounce per sq. yard.

I just finished doing a 1/2 A Texaco Playboy in Coverlite and was very pleased with the results. Don't even THINK about using Ultracote or any other "full size" r/c covering, the light structure won't stand up to it!
