Gaffers tape and ballastic tape is a canvas product, but the adhesive is about 100X better than normal run of the mill duct tape and it doesn't dry out and leaves nothing behind when it's removed.
I used it to "help" stop the in flow of water into the drivers compartment when I got caught in the rains in the old TR4A with the top up, I know the top is all but usless but... well the tape worked pretty well.
I got the tounge in cheek comment, but I have so much usless info in my demented mind, I though it might help someone out there. Yup! Cardboard tapped in place might be the cure.
Being a Huey pilot, I've never flown anything over about 200 mph, but I can hover and fly backwards, fast just isn't an option. So, I'll take your word on the 500 MPH part. LOL
