portlandflyer Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 I was gonna say - that stuff is SPENDY!! Paul deBakker made a Skate from that stuff - 1 prototype only!! Sometimes hard to find and colors are very limited - unless you have an extra grand to spend on custom colors - and that's per roll!! Doug Stout uses it in his "Bird of Prey" gliders for indoor flying, other materials in his outdoor versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makatakam Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 I might as well get some. Heck, the set of six endcaps for it only cost $90. Another ninety for sail material is peanuts by comparison! I'll definitely investigate the possibility. The sail alone will weigh about 25 grams, so anything lighter than 0.5 oz/yd sounds interesting. How is the durability? I want a sail I don't have to repair every time it's flown.
