Suggestion 1- sport (lower dihedral) wing all the way. As for bands/bolts my preferences is bolts. I hate bands. But being as you are building a kit why not both. Set it up when you build it for bolts. The only difference is the dowels for the bands. Lightly glue the front dowel in. If after a bit you find the confidence. And feel like it you knock out the front dowel and have at the bolts. If the front dowels interfere with the front band dowel, relocate it some. The position is not very critical. As long as it is in the doubler and close to the original location allw ill be well. You get the cake and can eat it too (and get fat like me

).
