There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

It's not actually Duct Tape.  ;) It's called Speed Tape and is made of aluminum and is even more sticky than Duct Tape. We used it for all kinds of surface temporary repairs that weren't structurally critical. But it was only for temp fixes, like a skin crack or bad ding that could wait while we did combat sorties. It's some great stuff, but really, they shouldn't be using it on passenger flights unless it's the last flight and the airport it's headed to has their repair facility. :) But they got a wrinkle in it.  >:( sloppy work. LOL

No, i did the Crash, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn technique in the fixed wing.

In helicopters I did the crash, crash, learn, crash, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn technique.

I've also heard it called "six-hundred-mile-an-hour tape", supposedly it wont blow off in the wind unless the aircraft is going more than 600 mph. As I understand it, this stuff is used by airlines for minor temporary repairs. The idea is that if they don't have the equipment or parts to fix that kind of thing, they can put the temp. patch on until the plane gets to an airport where they do.

Also, I've seen regular old duct tape used to fix tears in fabric skin. It always makes me laugh, because it means that someone has to pay me to fix it properly. ;)

Well, amazingly, it only took me about 10 tries to land my first helicopter in FS, the default FS2004 Bell 206B.  And that was with full realism.  And it was actually in an extremely difficult landing position.  Imagine a square of four trees, one in each corner.  Then remove one of the trees and put my helicopter there.  That's where I landed.  My roters were within 10-5 ft or the trees. :D  But safe. :)
I still have some difficulty doing the spot landings with skids, but I manage.  Though I do scrape along the pad for about 1-3 ft when I do, and I may have one part of my roters sticking 3-5 ft off the pad.
But I'm fine.
Though I must admit, I've really come to love the FSX Accelleration EH101.  Wheels with suspension!  I can do a landing in that with no problem at all.  Never crashed it once. :)
