Wow is about all I can say about using rubber bands to hold on wings and landing gear. Even the trainer I had used screws to hold on the landing gear even though the wing was held on by rubber bands. I think the Lou Andrews design must have been around for a long time. And engines back then must have really lacked power to think that rubber bands would hold things together on a plane like this.

You did well to convert both to screw attachment. Well, tomorrow is the big day for my Aeromaster. It will be maiden flight time. Right now it is very windy here in northern California. I hope it calms down some so I can fly her. I plan to post a message here Monday to let everyone know how it went.

Good luck Ramcharger.
