Nope no flaming like I said to each his own if someone wants to change the bands every time they fly more power to them. My Lazy Ace has the top wing held with laggy bands 7 per side. I often use these as well to hold a glider cradle on the same wing. Even in the worst heat I might have one or two bands let go but still plenty left to do the job. Yep I reuse my bands never had a single problem.
