hi guys

i know that in the event of a crash the rubber bands will probably save the wing from damage but im not really comfortable to push the plane to its limits knowing that if i pull a few too many G's the wing may depart.

I can't help you on converting but from first hand experience

rubber bands won't save the wing. I was flying with an instructor I lost sight of it, it went below the trees, he took over and gave it ful power and it totaled. When I found itthe wing was in 2 pieces but the dowels were still attached to the rubber bands on one wing. I had put the recomended number of bands on it (12 I think) so I would not worry about losing your plane due to rubber bands.

Oh, it was a 60 size thunder tiger.

Hope that helps

Jon
