I have had problems with the ends being too short and the knot coming
undone, especially with larger (f1m, PP) motors. I have found that
slowly pulling the knot really tight before clipping off othe extra
knot works the best. I wet the rubber with saliva as I am tieing.
I've had times where the double overhand knot wouldn't hold even with
long "tails". This more often happens with larger rubber. I don't know
why this happens but it seems to happen with really high humidity. The
only thing that I can do in this case is to tie a different knot. I'll
try to find a description of the net somewhere. The knot was taught to
me by Lincoln Ross and it's sort of like a fisherman's dropper
loop. It's the only knot that I've found that will hold in these
conditions.
It uses up a lot of rubber though, or at least it seems like it does,
which is the reason that I don't use it all of the time.
