The way to make your point is to reference the actual reality, instead of a movie that might or might not have any relevance to reality.

Hmmm ... there was a US television series called "MythBusters". They DID use the tape to replace the 'doped' cloth that made up the entire tail section of something like a SuperCub.

True story: someone parked a Cub (or similar) out in the middle of nowhere to go exploring. When he got back, a bear had shredded most of the fabric fuselage. Fortunately, he had a number of rolls of duc[tk] tape with him, and patched things up well enough to fly home. -- /~\ Charlie Gibbs | Growth for the sake of \ / <cgibbs@kltpzyxm.invalid> | growth is the ideology X I'm really at ac.dekanfrus | of the cancer cell. / \ if you read it the right way. | -- Edward Abbey

That I can believe. Why? Because it is not carrying any structural load. It’s just a covering, like the original fabric.

It’s just a covering, like the original fabric. I know that some kind of tape is used for temporary repairs in comercial airplanes, say a hole in the wing. It is a special tape, maybe aluminum film and something else. There are rules on how and where to use it. -- Cheers, Carlos. ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;
