I was wondering about the feasability of covering a wing on an
ultralight with Monokote, which is normally used on R/C aircraft. If
the tensile strength is too low, could you use 2 or more layers?


Damn, that would be $$$expen$ive!

Also, since wing loading for models is in the ounces to a pound or two per square foot, and full scale is 10 to 15
pounds and up, I would wonder about it.

Ribs work best to reduce sag on models, about 4 inches apart. I wonder about how it would sag on full size?

Way back when there was a Citabria (I think) that was covered with Monokote...I think they put it over the fabric
though...
