Greetings and salutations: Question for the group... I recently finished a Clip wing cub, using ceconite 102 , nitrate and butyrate dope which has been my favorite process for years. My next project is going to be very weight sensitive, so I thought I should look into other covering processes. I am not a fan of the polyfiber finish, nor the printed fabric process. Are any of the newer / urethane finishes lighter than dope? Stewart, Air tech, Aerothane etc?/ This plane has a 160mph vne. I'm probably going to use ceconite 102 and dope because I'm familiar with it , but weight savings and time savings will sway me . Thanks in advance Tom
