My usual motors are around 1.40 g/m so I guess mine are not drastically heavier than yours. It seems that most people in the USA are in the .050 range. A few years ago at USIC John Diebolt stopped at my table to ask what size motor I was using. At that time I was in the .055 range. He just shook his head and walked away. I think he thought my motors were way too thick.

  Bill san,
  I do not know the rubber width at all because I have never measured the
  width of rubber.
  I have used 260 to 275 mg/ 10cmLoop (= 1.30 to 1.38 g/m) in high ceilings
  and 270 to 300 mg/ 10cmLoop in low ceilings for my F1Ls.
  Good flying, Aki
