Yeaaaah.. That's true for outdoor, where the skill involved in winning
is picking good air; whereas in indoor it's how well you wind. We wind
these rubbers to 99.99% max torque.. sometimes one turn too many. A
little Armoral and a baggie never hurt anyone.
Most significant factor to consider is the ability to use up the
rubber you store. I got loads of rubber vac-sealed in my freezer, will
I ever be able to use it all? Six tenths of a gram at a time..
My two Indian(Native American) head pennies worth.

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.
