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!

I only have rubber bands on my trainer, the one I train others on! If they hit the wing on something the wing moves and keeps from breaking something, and the plane has been crashed three times and had to fix the plane three time but the wing was was untouched! I will keep buying the rubber bands for this one plane!
