Hi Tapio san,
These lines are impressions of the same weight/length rubber.
>Do you think that the slope of the cruise phase is the same for Tan II and SS?
If it is not, but SS drops faster initially, but then approaches similar torque towards the end (that is: has a flatter torque curve), then that might be of benefit in flying low ceilings in classes with unlimited rubber: you would need slightly heavier motor and do more backoff, but would get flatter flight profile?
TanSS has less cruise TQ, so begin descending earlier and faster than Tan2.
To compensate for this, yes, you will need to use thicker rubber. But thicker rubber has less turns and need more back-off turns, so less flight time. And, longer and thicker rubber is heavy.
The superiority of TanSS is the burst phase, very high max TQ. We, Indoor modelers, cannot use the advantage with fixed pitch props. I, am not good at VP props, cannot use the advantage even with VP props.
