How much does fabric covering weigh? What is the lightest system?
When Cubs rolled off the line, they had 75 pounds of Grade A cotton and dope on them. A Ceconite and dope finish on that same Cub will probably weigh about 50 to 60 pounds. A Cub done in Poly-Fiber has 40 to 45 pounds of finish weight. A Cub done in urethane can get pretty heavy if you lay on the thick coats. Urethane is not known for its light weight. Ultralights can be done in as little as 12 to 15 pounds.
