...Now maybe I can get more flights out of it per day, instead of playing with elastics 1/4 of the time.
Wow... if you're spending a fourth of your time at the field working on rubber bands, there's something else wrong. Rubber bands are essentially string 'em & fling 'em. What on earth are you doing with them?
I've seen 3 planes converted to bolts from rubber band wing mounting - one Eagle II, and two AeroStars. All three had aileron torque rod interference after conversion, and had to be altered for that. Two of them, the wing popped off a few months later - in flight.
Thus, I recommend using a different plane, if you want a bolt-on-wing.
Just my 2ยข worth,
