Good morning from Brazil! Please, what were the dimensions of the rubber strip? Super Sport 3/16" ? or 1/8" What is the loop length?:

So many memories of my youth. I remember the quest for power in my model aircraft circa 1970, we didn't have winders but used hand cranked drills to turn the props. Soon we were adding JATO and teeny .010 motors to our model craft. Surgical tubing was the Tesla of that summer, BTW. What an outstanding video, thanks for the memories 😊

I flew a control line .049 Cox PT-19 this way by looping the line around a support post in the basement. Never thought of flying rubber powered models this way. Great way to fly scale rubber powered models without destroying them. Love it!

@@themadscientest you can run a cox motor anywhere there is atmosphere containing oxygen. indoors, outdoors, inside another plane, inside a submarine, on the top of a mountain, in a cave (i don't know if this is indoors or outdoors). just be sure you have fuel and a battery to start.

I used to buy small balsa wood planes as a child in the 60's. I believe they were made in the USA. the models were called Sleek streak and Star flyer. They were simple and cheap and a lot of fun but they don't seem to be available anymore and I can't find anything similar. Does anyone know where I can buy something similar, I would be grateful!

You can learn SO much from building and flying rubber powered models! Start with a simple design, such as a One Night 16 (excellent flyer, easy to build and cover) or similar type. Then maybe a scale model of a high wing aircraft like a Piper Cub or a Taylorcraft. Do some research. Learning really is fun, with model aviation! Get ready for some very long flights!

How do I wind up the plane's rubberband if I am alone? How would the propeller be held as I wound the rubberband with a rubberband winder?

@BrianPhillipsRC 6 лет назад

Use a clip to hold the plastic prop to the plastic prop holder....like an office clip, here's an example amzn.to/2H3FbOk (but just make sure it won't squeeze your balsa wood too much) Good luck!

@UguysRnuts Год назад

Why add a steel paperclip to the plane if you're going to use tape or glue anyway? Couldn't you just glue or tape the tether to the wing? Wouldn't a pin hole and knot do the same job without adding any weight whatsoever?

@fajarnugraha2103 3 года назад

@keithfreeman5204 Год назад

I like the idea. Now, scale it up. Back in the late 70's I was flying C/L. To break in motors I built a Flat wing 36In WS Tethered plane. For C/L engines, there is no throttle, set the needle, release and fly. I have used the rig for my .46 BB engines set at 1/2 to 3/4 throttle. Five minutes of run time to warm the engine completely, then cool the air temperature. Do this 5 times and the engine is run-in nicely.

@tonyblighe5696 2 года назад

Thanks for the "floppy rubber" tip. I can now get a longer stable powered flight rather than a brief burst then glide! I did some tests and found that with the same length band the energy stored is about the same, but the fewer loops you use, resulting in a floppier the band, the lower the power but the longer the duration.

@robambrose4199 Год назад

Some people make propellers that automatically adjust the pitch of the blades depending on the torque, to try and spend as much time in the air as possible for competitions.
