Thanks,
I need something available in the USA - so the conclusion is that the Rutan
cloth is acceptable?
I don' understand the technical aspect but I am assuming that you need the
same mechanical properties as the original which presumably means the same
chemical composition, same orientation and same weight of fibers??

Rutan chose it because it was used for gliders in Germany. Probably
still is, 92125, it's made by Interglas and it's a 2 by 2 twill (for
drape). The UNI we use is 92145.
I recently ( 4 years ago!) bought half a roll of BID from a supplier in
Germany but haven't yet re found the details. Price was very good
compared to UK prices.
