Default Improvisational Monokote Field Repairs

As fate would I have it, a 20+mph gust at the field grabbed the loose wing of my son's Sig Mid-Star and ran it right into the corner of a cement block, puncturing the monokote. As this event could have been interpreted as an omen (high winds, don't fly idiot!) and not having a roll of packaging or any other tape, we were about to call it a day. At that moment, I looked at the clear zip lock baggie that houses the field and AMA licenses on the side of my flight box, and there was the solution. See pics for the undisclosed benefit AMA membership provides. And yes, we flew!!!
