Skyloft was a popular covering material from the late 60s. Skyloft
was a nylon mat material that looked a lot like silkspan but was much
stronger. It was applied with dope just like silkspan. I used it to
cover several RC pattern models between 1969 and 1974 and even
covered a free flight wing with skyloft. If you crashed a built up
model covered with skyloft, you never needed a trash bag for the
parts after a crash. The skyloft served quite well to contain the parts. :)
