I agree with you there, I have an outdoor model (sorry not indoor) and it is a scale model of a Pegna racer. I used the same motor every time I went flying for 6 months!! I would go flying almost every week I might add. What i used to do was after a flying session, I would wash the motor in a biodegradeable washing up liquid. Then rinse the motor and dry it with a teatowl, then i would put it in a plastic ziplock bag and spray a single squirt of Armoral in the bag. Then it would stay in the fridge till the next weekend... I would then re lube it with rubber grease when i went flying.... my two cents.

regards
Matthew

Subject: [Indoor_Construction] Storing Rubber

What is a "freezer bag?"

I store pre-cut, tied and weighed motors in small Zip-Lok sandwich bags
with small paper ID slips.  These bags are stored in a wine cellar at
62 degrees F.  The wine cellar looks like a refrigerator and it is
conveniently located next to my work bench.  Actually the rubber is
stored on the top rack, where there is open space, above the bottles.

Anyway, I have not noticed any deterioration in the quality of these
rubber motors. I have heard some people question whether indoor rubber
should be stored in plastic, but others say that there is no adverse
impact.
