Default Wing joining tape

I have the hobbico EP trainer. The wing split apart and I need to retape them. Where can I buy that tape? I did not see it in the Tower catalog. Thanks

There really isn't anything terrifically special about that tape. In fact, it may be nothing more than a strip of Monokote trim sheet. A strip of clear packing tape is a viable substitute, as would be any number of other tapes.

For a more permanent solution, epoxy the wings together.

200 MPH NASCAR duct tape will also work.

For strength, fibreglass and epoxy or CA works great.
