you may not like the rubber band wing but they are there on a trainer for a reasom.that reason is to minimize damage when you drp a wing tip or land in a tree.the wing will give a bit and if neccassary pop the rubber bands lose with minimum damage to the wing and fuse.usually when you drag a wing tip with a bolt on wing instead of the nylon bolts breaking the mounts rips out of the fuse side.if this is your first plane stay with the rubber bands till you solo and then replace them if you want.
