Has anyone here any familiarity with using Mylar as a skin, like on some
ultralights and hang gliders? What about similar types of plastic
sheeting?

Go to the lazair groups (2 at yahoo groups- I think, one web based) they
used mylar- so did falcon ultralights. There's a lot of stuff at those
groups on mylar and tedlar (trade name for one type)One thing- mylar is
sensitive to uv (sun) degradation and the taped joints need additional
protection against sun (the adhesive used on the double stick tape can also
degrade in sunlight) Pat
