If you can't fix it with duct tape, you aren't using enough duct tape!

Mythbusters made a cannon and a yacht from the stuff.

What an awesome repair job he has done, in fact better then some repairs that Ive seen done on some cadet gliders.

I bet next time though, he cleans his aircraft out!!

had horses a few years ago, and then couldn't have been a farm anywhere not held together by baler twine - duct tape is certainly a lot easier though
