Hi Guys - just a bit of caution when installing wing hold-down rubber bands. I
recommend that you cross only one rubber band per side. Ideally the first rubber
band can be crossed. The remaining rubber bands should / must be installed straight
from front to rear, not crossed.
The crossed rubber bands will NOT hold the wing as securely as straight front-to-rear
rubber bands. Crossed rubber bands will allow the wing to tilt / raise from side-to-side
( the cross is a pivot point). Front-to-rear rubber bands will minimize wing tilt.
A securely attached wing, with no tilt, is absolutely necessary for flying. You
NEED to keep the wing flat to the fuselage at all times. Don't skimp on the number
of rubber bands used to hold the wing in place. Wobbly wings cause crashes.
