That must be an airmail postcard. Yes, an O-ring on the motor makes it easier to get off the winder and onto the prop hook, and you don't need a complicated reverse S on the prop shaft, a simple right hand pigtail will do. It is difficult to grip a tightly wound, lubricated motor, but the flat O-ring is easy to hold.
i love that. when i was a kid i was always messing around with rubber powered planes, then went up to the little gas engines. now i'm old and retired and want to try it again. do they still make little kits?
@@ImranKhan-kq3nw yes, i know the guillows company was in wakefield, ma., very hear where i live. the scale models i used to build were much too heavy for rubber powered flight so we used to put the little gas engines on them but that was 60 yrs ago. how do you make them so light weight?
If you are talking about kits that build with sheets of balsa wood,yes hobby lobby got some in hobby sections. I think they were quick to assemble rubber power skeeters.
Hi, I haven't built one yet (my rubber planes do not need such a device), but you may surf this link for ideas: www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?962939-Plans-for-a-winding-stooge Hope it helps
I did the rubber band back in the day. When they came out with radio control. I went that direction. Before that Control line. When they started radio they said you could not do full house ( elevator, arleion, rudder and throttle) with the cox 049 I did it with a exhaust RPM , rudder, elevator and arleaon. Had a micro switch to heat the glow plug. At low RPM with internal glow batteries . THE RC mag Rag said it could not be done. I DID IT. AND PROVED IT AT THE AIR FIELD.
