Default rubber bands

I second the vote for rubber bands. I had a nasty cartwheeling crash yesterday in a Phaeton Bipe. Boh wings are rubber banded and both survived with only small dents in the leading edge at the mounting point. the right horizontal stabilizer was badly creased and the elevator on that side pulled from its hinges. Needless to say, the elevator is fixed.

That said. My second plane is a fourstar 60. Flies gently and is easy to land and take off but wings bolt on.
