Default RE: rubber bands for wing hold

I see I started something on reusing rubber bands. I am doing all my posting in jest. But I do have a story for you. After my last post the wife and I went to get a bite to eat. We went out through the garage door. I looked at my new airplane sitting on the workbench. The wing is held on with 2 rubberbands. One of them had broke. I may have to rethinkmy rubberband strategy. Heck I may have to buy a box of fresh bands.


CGR I learnd about lawn darts with the first RC plane I built. It was a little stik. Somehow i missed the part about glassing the center section of the wing. I just butt glued the wing halves together. It stayed together for a long time. Then one day I did a kamakazi dive and a full up elevator pull out. The wing failed. I did rebuild the plane though. Now I am a fanatic about center sections being strong.
