I know! It's about Duct Tape, so surely 'Homes, Gardens & DIY' would have been more apt?

I was thinking the Ford forum or Body repair? The thing about the Mondeo's is too true!

Well, if someone can just post up a pic of a boat and train fixed with duct tape we will be sorted.....

Mods, get a grip - this is about bloody duct tape bodges!

[Eric Mc]

So did I. That's why I posted that link.

Quick question - why does the plane have what appears to be lead weights attached to the rear section of the top of the wings..??

[Eric Mc]

I assume they were temporary attachmants to stop the ailerons thrashing about in the wind. When the ailerons move, the control column in the cockip swings from side to side.

Could they not just attatch a bracket to the fixed part of the wing to stop moving around as opposed to drilling a whole and lugging lead weights around with them everywhere they go..??

[Eric Mc]

Or indeed put a control lock on the control column.

I'm only guessing why they did this. Perhaps there wis another explanation.

[Kit80]

See NOW it's about planes

[Shar2]

They're not lead. Just standard gust locks that fit between the flaps and ailerons. Usually made of wood with a bit of rubber to stop damaging the paintwork.

[Eric Mc]

NEVER forget to remove gust locks.

Sad but salutory.

Superb, would take balls of steel to get back in it and trust it though

Nah nothing important was damaged (as long as the rudder etc. still worked) so it will be fine. I've gone up in planes with a few holes in them, hell, I went up in a plane which didn't have a door.... And we had to push start it as well........It was the pilot who had the big cahones, he didn't have a parachute....

How do you push start a plane?

[Eric Mc]

Manually swing the prop.

I love the way the thread switched from "I taped up my Mondeo" to tech analysis of the aircraft photo. I can see when it was moved..

Isn't a Super Cub made of tape anyway?
