A number of years ago a ASW-15 did 2 laps of Leeton's airfield after the
crew had taped the gaps around the airbrakes. Apparently the tape broke away
easily before flight but couldn't be moved after a flight in the sun.
Fortunately for the pilot he didn't outland, the canopy was also taped on!
Tried that, twice in the last two weeks, appears not to work.
