My quick way of finding the quality of the rubber
is to make up a motor of a standard length and weight (I use a 1/3 F1D
motor of 0.2 g weight). It does not matter if the length is slightly different
from the standard length but the weight must be the same.
Stretch the motor about 7 times and wind it until
it will not stretch any more. Do not come in towards the torque meter. Note the
number of turns applied. Hold the motor fully stretched for about 1 minute. I
use this method (Bernie Hunt's) to break in the motor.
Unwind 1/2 the number of turns while coming in to
the unstretched length. Stretch and unstretch slightly to allow the knots to
settle and measure the torque.
Multiply the torque and turns numbers together to
give you a measure of the energy stored in the rubber. The bigger this number,
the better the rubber for flying. Use this method to compare with rubber that
you know. You will soon know if the rubber is bad!
I believe that Jim Richmond used this method or
something very similar to give an 'Index of Performance' .
Happy New Year! Bob
