Hey all!
Noob here trying to decide on bolt on or rubber band wing. I am currently building a Goldberg eagle 2 and I am at the wing attachment decision stage. I have a love of Naval Aircraft so I choose a Naval aircraft primary trainer color scheme (International Orange on white. With black nose and wingtips. I'll be using small black and white checker for the bottom of the fuse for orientation). I've put a lot of thought into the look of the plane and I would like to keep it as scale as possible. But because I am a noob with no previous R/C flight time I expect some bumps and bruises. (yes, I will have an instructor)

The manual states that a bolt on wing is more prone to damage than a banded wing. It seems to me that the recommended 14 or more bands would be just as strong as the bolt on version. Any way, I'm looking to balance scale looks with trainer durability. Any suggestions about the bolt on or the color scheme is appreciated.
