I've got an LT-40 ARF which I bought a couple of months ago. SIG have apparently changed the design from rubber bands to a bolt on wing. This has not caused me any inconvenience as I've not crashed it - yet
I can't believe that bolt-ons are cheaper to produce than banded wings and they certainly wouldn't have redesigned the wing (just added plywood plates). So what do you think SIG were thinking? Increased replacement sales perhaps from less crash resistance?
