This is the premiere episode of a new modeling series, focused on questions and curiosities I've received from viewers to my channel in recent years. This is all for you, so share your suggestions and thoughts. I'll run with the questions about free-flight rubber-power that feel most universal.
The first episode focuses on the making of rubber motors that are 1, 2 or 3 loops, along with the braiding of each motor. The film also shows the making of the tool needed for installing motors, called a stuffer stick, and the use of a 'wobble peg' in the rear to help reduce the bunching of the motor.
