Isn't that what high-speed (duct) tape is for?


A friend of mine experimented with duct tape on his flap gaps a few years
ago. Unfortunately he chose the flight into OSH for his test flight.

Imagine his horror when he couldn't deploy the flaps when trying to land
on the green dot, short behind another aircraft...

Duct tape isn't a great choice for that sort of thing...


No kidding. An example of a better way:
