I agree with RCKen... My first SE was an ARF which caught a bad crosswind gust and didn't obey my commands... so it crashed... [:@](well that's my story and I'm sticking with it)... My second (and current) SE is from a kit. No problems with either concerning the j-hook method.
As a matter of fact... the arf's wings stayed in place through the crash and all i had was two rubber bands doubled over on the j-hooks. [8D]
