To take Bill's point further, if the film could not
be shape changed somehow then there is no way you could
get span length roll of film to fit tightly to the
curves of a glider wing along its full length.


The material under discussion, with brand names like Monokote and
Solarfilm, can be formed around compound curves on a model airplane,
which are far sharper than those on a full size glider. It's very
thin, about 0.002 inches. See
