A number of years ago a ASW-15 did 2 laps of Leeton’s airfield after
the crew had taped the gaps around the airbrakes. Apparently the
tape broke away easily before flight but couldn’t be moved after a
flight in the sun. Fortunately for the pilot he didn’t outland, the
canopy was also taped on!
I flew in a DG505 abeam a Phoebus in California a few years
ago; We'd been wave soaring, and the Phoebus' airbrakes had
iced over.
The Californian instructor suggested that he pull some high G
to flex the wings and crack the ice. Seemed to work!
