Don: Thanks for your reply. I appreciate that very much.
At this stage of my indoor flying adventure, I have not yet delveloped
the incredible disciplines that I read about, just being wonderfully
satisfied with the fact that my plane is "really flying". I have dreamed
about indoor flying since I was a small boy and only now at age 78,
although flying most types of models for many years - I am just
beginning to realize the pleasures of that that indoor dream. And it is
better than I expected. What at thrill!
Details: Plain hobby shop rubber; Peck Polymers label on the packet,
Super Sport 3/32 in.
Length hub to tail hook; 9.5 inches. Rubber length 11 inches
Winding: Did not count turns, but wound to 0.7 oz-in. torque . Landing
with nearly one row of knots. I was told that winding to a greater
torque and unwinding to about 0.7 oz-in. would be a good idea... will
try that next time.
