<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> The pilot had not yet cleaned out the inside of his Super Cub after a long fishing trip, and a passing bear had a to have a look inside.
The guy had 2 new tires, 3 cases of Duct Tape, and several rolls of cellophane delivered, and then went about repairing the plane so he could fly it home. Have a look at this .....

I'm having a bit of trouble seeing an effective field repair to the right side horizontal stabilizer with just duct tape. The rest of it seems reasonable but not that part. There does not appear to be anything on the outboard end of the stabilizer that could be used as a support for splints.
On the other hand, maybe, he just removed the right side HS fabric, ribs and leading edge, leaving the trailing edge spar, full elevator and the left side HS and was able to nurse it home with lots of trim. Changing and inflating the replacement tires would be a bit of a challenge too unless whoever brought the tires brought an air can and appropriate tools.
Interesting problem to speculate about, especially from the comfort of home.
