I've always had the tracing paper tear when used for competition rockets. It is the lightest easily creased material out there, though, so if you can get it to work, more power to you.
I use Fibafilm, which is similar to the old Micafilm of legend.
Thanks for the tip! You bake in the folds, right?
Shouldn't need to for almost any kind of Mylar film...
Thanks! I ordered some so let me test it out. Do you just use cellophane tape to attach the shroud line or some other type of adhesive tape?

Get a few rolls. Make sure you put your name on them.
Thanks for the lead! I couldn't find anything thinner than 2 mil. I'll not only put my name on them but register them with Lojack. This stuff (to me at least) is hard to find!
The FAI guys are using 1/2 mil mylar: The trick is to fold it, clamp it and bake in the oven (low temp) see: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&...pc3BhY2Vtb2RlbGluZ3xneDo2MTdjYTAxNDcxNGY4ZjFk I used the to good effect at the first Capitol Cup FAI comp (sliver medal) beating the US team members.
