The Nov. '09 issue of "Free Flight" had information about Bill Gowen's record setting F1M including some motor data.
 It was flown with a 3 strand motor, 39 cm long weighing 1.47 grams. My questions are:
I see the three strands in the photo, but how is the motor is attached to the prop hook & rear hook? I.E. How are the two loose ends of the rubber attached to the hooks?
Also, I assume the 39 cm length is 1/3 of the total length of the rubber strip. Correct?
If this is true, I estimate the cut dimension of the rubber to be approx. 0.032". Correct?

Thanks,
Gary Hodson
