ChuckW, I have a question about the "rubber bands" holding the wings on the Tower Trainer; mine is a 60. I've also got a "SkyBox Fly40" with a "rubber band" setup.

What is a "good" number of rubber bands to use on a fairly light trainer plane like the TT60 (or even LIGHTER the SkyBox Fly40"). I've heard that 6 is PLENTY to hold it tight and keep it from moving around, but one guy told me a MINIMUM of 12 was mandatory (i personally thought he had a weird rubberband fetish....). It seems to me that with TWELVE rubber bands you would LOOSE that whole "wing busting loose on crash" effect entirely. I can almost pull my CAR with 12 !!!! It dang sure won't come loose in the air, but I though it was WAY overkill....

Any "tips" on a GOOD number that will hold a decent sized plane that's not a total brick? I'm thinking a plane w/ the weight of a TT60 would be a perfect "baseline" (it's a little larger than other trainers and has an OS .60 engine + pretty big tank)without compromising the whole reason the bands are there. A plane like the SuperBox Fly40 is so light it can practicaly fly with a twisted rubber band like an old 2D balsa
