Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: myth busters duct tape plane

In the skydiving world, we call it 600 MPH tape.

    After watching last night and seeing many, many rolls of duct tape being used I would have thought a weight and balance issue would have been in the mix, but I don't recall any mention, anyone? John

Hello

Its called 200mph tape by the racers who tape up their cars after a crash  A Kitfox is a 100mph plane They can't bust a proven patch up About the only downside may be a shiny ass at the FAA issuing a directive that only XZY brand is to be used in conjunction with a notification and approval on form FAA 139276 in triplicate

I don't understand why they would feel the need to do this. Patched up planes are flown out of the bush in Alaska frequently. What "myth" do they intend to "bust"?
