Default RE: Rubber bands too tight

If you are going to put on so many or put the rubber bands on so tight that the wing can not move at all, you might as well just use a bolt on mount. I put enough rubber bands on that I can hold the plane by the wings and violently shake up and down and get a minor seperation of the wing and fusalage, like 1/8" or so. Any tighter than that and the rubber bands are not going to help any in a crash and they can put too much stress on the wing and dowels.
