There is no reg specifically prohibiting control surface repairs.
You won't find chapter and verse because a reg on this doesn't exist.
Each aircraft has its own repair methods called out in the aircraft manuals
OR AC43
Next question.....

OK... I've got a question. I've seen a number of aircraft around that
have
had little patches and repairs made on them. Sometimes on a wing or
fuselage,
sometimes on an elevator, sometimes on an aileron. I've heard that it is
illegal to
patch moveable control surfaces, but yet I've seen numerous aircraft
around with
repairs like that.

Does anyone know if this is true/false and which regs (chapter and verse)
dictate it?

Just curious...
