RE: rubber bands
Think about one of the many modifications you can do to convert from rubber bands to wing bolts. Epoxy hardwood blocks in place, drill, and tap for a 1/4-20 bolt, and you will have a secure wing mount system that works better, is aerodynamically cleaner, and which will give you flight-to-flight consistency for trim.
It is easily within the skill set of most modelers. Rubber bands are ugly!
