I generally fly models with rubbersizes below .075. If you fly events
with bigger motors like OPP, these bags can get 'bulky' looking with a
piece of .110" x 20"long in it. I have also used the 3x5 wax
paper/stamp type and plastic 3x5 ziplock type bags as well over the
years. They work fine too but I find the wax stamp ones fell apart
easier from use. The ziplock ones were OK but you then had to make a
label up and place it on the bags to write anything on them (same with
the wax ones) Then I got some plastic ones with the white writing area
on them, but that tends to bleed if you get rubber lube on it. So of
all I have tried I still find nothing better than the little yellow
envelopes. You can write notes on them and they work well. And if you
open the box nicely, you can use the box as the container you store the
rubber motors in as well.
