I guess I hated stretching those dozen or so rubber bands around a wing more than any other one thing in the hobby until a guy showed me how to use velcro to retain the wing. The velcro goes on almost instantly and it won't snap back at you and smack the insides of your wrists. You cannot move the wing fore or aft once the velcro is mated nor can you pull the wing up off the plane. The single one drawback is that the wing will not move in a hard landing, which is the whole point of using rubber bands. But once you are proficient enough at flying that you are not making hard landings, velcro is the way to go.
