Red Green would be proud..........

Bear attack 2009

Apparently a bear attacked his plane while parked in a remote field up here in AK. He had not cleaned out the inside after a long fishing trip and the bear smelled it.
He had 2 new tires, 3 cases of Duct Tape and several rolls of cellophane delivered. Then went about repairing the plane so he could fly it home.
Gutsy to say the least.

The gutsy part would be weight and balance, not adhesion.

Planes do not like to be tail-heavy.

Ground crews in Viet Nam routinely patched bullet-riddled helicopters with duct tape. Impressive to say the least, but nothing really new.
