This is a hobby lobby 8 ft senior telemaster and trying to find out what size rubber bands. I just bought this and the guy has no ideas....Any suggestions??? Please

There is no set-in-stone size for these things, but normally we use a #64 rubber band which is 3 1/2 inches long by 1/4 inch wide and 1/32 inch thick. On a plane this size you might want to go to a #65 band which is 5 inches long by 3/8 wide and 1/32 inch thick.

I tie 2 #64s together and hook them in a 7 pattern. I have had the dowel pull out through the top of the fuse using a single 64. I do this with 8 pairs on each side.

Do yourself a favor and bolt the wing on to the Senior Tele.

The older kits.....had a 1 piece wing................ and I added bolts and never used bands. I noticed the new SR arf and kit has 2 piece wings with bolts and aluminum spar. I would make it bolts if you feel up to the modifying challenge

I love flying my tele low and slow, constantly dragging wing tips on the ground for fun. The rubber bands, while a pain in the neck, have saved me a time or two.
