Wire bundle question (Read 1,692 times)

I Remember it being called F4 tape

Yep F-4 tape here also

F4 tape is the self-vulcanizing black silicon tape with the green witness line in the middle. There was a red version used for high temp applications. What I'm talking about is the clear stuff we used to wrap the wire bundle runs with, like the bundle that ran under the radar magnetron and along the bottom of the radar rack.

If a crew chief was told to wrap a wire bundle, he probably used duct tape.

Either red or silver, whichever was in his tool box.

Crew chiefs just did the job and didn't worry too much about the style of tape, or the name of it.

We just put duct tape on it, and sent it back up.

I wonder how many planes are flying with duct tape holding things together, or keeping them in place.

Duct tape was also good for patching small holes in fabric flight control surfaces. The holes were usually under two inches long, or wide.

Try that with F-4 electronic tape.

Jim Too. Who believes duct tape is holding the world together.
