Covering is just around the corner, and I was looking through the AircraftSpruce catalog. Both PolyFiber and Ceconite have their own pages, but thenthey have a "generic" fabric for about 1/2 the price. Normally I wouldn'tbother , but it's just the right width for the wings, and I was wondering ifanyone used it, and how the quality was.Are most of the Piets flying using the light (1.7/1.8 oz) fabric?thanks walt-----------------------------------------------------________________________________________________________________________________

Can anyone give me input on where they bought there covering material andthe prices. I'm probably going to go with 1.7oz non-certified but am tryingto find the best 'deal', which might take into account customer service andnot just price.I looked in the archives but couldn't find a definite answer.GregGridley, KS----- Original Message -----

The current price in Spruce is $3.65 /yd, and it is 66 inches wide. This fabric is manufactured by Dupont.
