Default RE: Rubber bands too tight

There was a thread much like this one about a year ago. Somebody at that time suggested the velcro method (it might have been R/C Skyjumper). At any rate, I called him and he explained it. I tried it and have never looked back. It is really neat. The wing will not move using this method and you can't even rip it off. The only drawback is that there is no give. If you crash or cartwheel, you don't really want your wing held on this way becasue it would probably stay on the airplane just as if it were bolted on. It looks much better than a dozen rubber bands and it takes seconds to put on instead of several minutes. I always found removing rubber bands was worse than installing them.
