Handy Don 17,474 #27 Posted August 19 I just noticed the rubber bands holding the wings. My first training plane had them and I learned the hard way that they must be the length and strength specified to perform properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Win for the airplane day - my tail rudder was indeed backwards. Loss for the day - I still can’t take off well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same thing - held together by rubber bands. On one flight, the bands holding the wing on failed. The plane fell right out of the sky. We got a pretty good laugh over that one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
