Hi all...I am restoring an old Flight Mirage Ultralight and need to replace all the fabric (sails?) Two issues...One is I'm assuming the original fabric is Dacron??? The original is two colors and I can' seem to find anything but white. Second...the fabric is not glued in place, the frame pieces run through sewn in pockets in the fabric then I guess was heat shrink into place. I can't find any info on this type of installation. The wing fabric is sort of like a big sock that was pulled over the aluminum frame then heat shrunk into place. THANKS
