I have a 25+ year old Sig Riser (2 meter glider) that likely I still have because of rubber band wing hold-downs.  Every landing was a dead-stick; and some were less than graceful.

Those that would talk you out of rubber bands will also try to convince you that metal gear servos and LiPo receiver batteries are requirements.  ;-)


Makes you wonder how folks ever made did with the 'ol technology.


But I'm not keen to go back to the pre-digital trims, model memory, end-point-adjustments and exponential on transmitters.  ;-)
