So, the wings are not bolt in, they are held in place with rubber bands pulling the two halves together?
I ask because I have not yet started my build and just got the thing on Saturday and have not looked the plans over much at all this weekend. I am going to start the build this week.
I have the Little Somethign Extra which uses a "bolt" on wing setup, the wing is one piece on that little plane. I converted it to electric.

CG,
This is absolutely correct. The SSE has a J-hook in the root rib of the wing, when you slide the wings in place you simply put a rubber band between the J-hooks to hold the wings in place. Trust me, this is more than enough to keep the wings on the plane, as there isn't any force that will be pulling wings apart. I personally use a wire tie to keep mine together, but I transport my plane to the field assembled so I don't need to worry about taking the wings off and on.
