I guess i'm extra paranoid as i use a rubber band AND a zip tie. I've heard about people putting a small slice in the rubber band on the hooks, while installing them, compromising their strength

With a new found love for my SSE (for some reason i used to hate flying it ), i flip and flop this plane all over the sky w/o any problems. This plane is such a performer that i feel it is necessary for something stronger and more reliable than a rubber band. I'm sure a zip tie alone would be perfect, especially if you have fat fingers, as getting three loops on a rubber band inside the tight fuselage can be a pain!! [:@]
