Default Fabric covering

Grade A cotton...was used on the old ships such as the Cessna 140,
Taylorcraft, etc., so no STC required, but STCs are probably available for
any modern system such as Stits, etc, so probably not the best choice as it
doesn't have the lifetime like the synthetics

I used to have some fabric samples lying around from an old glider than had
spent years and years sitting outside in Texas...

The Cotton would crumble if you weren't careful how you handled it. The
Dacron still seemed to be just fine...
