By "even less dyhedral" do you mean less than the sport wing plans in the manual? I would like a plane that I can fly for a longer period of time and still enjoy, as opposed to one that has a limited lifespan. If that means it's more difficult to learn, so be it. There are guys here who will train me on their PT40s that have tons of dyhedral. As for bands vs. bolts, perhaps I'll go and insert the parts and drill the holes for bands so I can do both. Thanks again to all of you.
