Okay, I'm sure this has been gone over before, but my search brings up multiple threads but no specific posts with the answer I'm looking for.
if you can point me to specific posts - great!
And I'm not looking for all sorts of opinions on the best systems and why, so this thread should be short and sweet...
What is the actual/true weight of cloth and fabric for aircraft, based on average square feet? Is there any empirical information out there?
I am open to all variations, but ideally I'd like to find out for light weight dacron (1.7 oz) with real aircraft paint processes (preferably water based, and with the fewest steps). I'm a big fan of urethane, but anything beside house paint is good.
This is primarily to calculate W&B as well as total empty weight for both a 103UL and LSA.
Thanks in advance, Rienk
