I found some #67 rubber bands wazz. Shipping may be a killer though.

I would seriously consider going with a bolt down wing though. It's very easy to do and we can walk you through it. Rubber bands suck and they won't protect your plane any better than nylon bolts will.

And I agree Top Gun on the Fults front LG. The kit version is weak. I don't remember the length so use a tape measure to match up with the original.

As far as the taildragger vs. a nose wheel thing, I prefer a taildragger just because they look cooler and I had no problem going from a nose gear to a taildragger. And plus by the time you add a stronger nose gear compared to going to a taildragger, you have added quit a bit of weight and if I remember correctly, my two LT-40s came out nose heavy by at least 2 oz. running a Magnum .52 RFS.
