Aircraft fabric covering: Great for boat tails etc:

They have applied for certification on limited quantity of airframes so it wouldn't apply to my old Pacer, however looks enticing particularly if it weighs less finished than a half roll of fabric and about 20 gallons of assorted dopes.

I wonder what happens when you over tighten. I have broken things that way, but lord they were pretty until then

I have a few skin on frame kayaks, skinned in various nylon fabrics and coated in a secret two part urethane (potentially two part urethane driveway sealer?). Nylon is weird because it shrinks as it warms and expands when cool. You can go paddling with it drum tight in the winter and it starts to get a little baggy when it’s in the water

Erm no... not with gliders.
I have been up to just below cloud base where tyou freezer your ... off because you're dressed for the 36+ C temperatures on the ground. And no glider I have been in has ever had loose fabric flapping in the wind.
Remember that this same fabric is not just on the fuselage, its on the trailing edge of the wings too.
Wings doing well over 160 km/h at some points.
There's no flapping. None.

SOME aircraft are mostly fabric covered, early piper cubs as an example, my 1950 pacer as another. Cowling, couple of fairings and landing gear are the exceptions.

Up to 160 mph VNE / 257kph you have mandatory rib lacing every inch and a half if I remember the rule correctly. Inch and a half won't give you much drumming surface. 160 kph 100 mph is 3 inches spacing but still wont give drumming, shrunk properly AND kept below VNE. Drumming leads to flutter and explosive disassembly or so I understand.
