Any idea what type of Rubber band is used in these type of planes as in the video (and there are so many others in YouTube).

The rubber band I used last just for 5-7 Sec to complete the 100 rotations

That video is expert material.
Perhaps you can look for something called 'Peanut Scale'

it is Tan2 rubber - got a pound of assorted widths years ago from FAI model supply who
were the source at that time.

Tan2 is no longer in production and has been replaced by Tan Super Sport.


Still got a lot left and if any one wants (free) pls PM me.

only thing is pls do not expect overnight - as it will take some time.

not as far as I know.


This is a very niche and somewhat unglamorous product.

The Indian aeromodelling market is dominated by multirotors and their ilk...
no hobby shop is going to keep anything which is not going to sell.

Even a mega site like HK does not stock.

Ok Guys, I got the Glue gun this weekend and finished making it. This is made from Styrofoam plates and the rubber band I got from Saikat-da...., I think I did some 100 turns and it can go up to 200 easily. From the test fly...I think the plane is not going up. Anything that can be done? should I put the wings little higher in the front part? Please give your feedback. Thanks-

@arindamt,

No. Model seems ok. For the present don't change anything except:

Add a little down thrust and increase the number of turns.
As you wind the rubber, first it will get twisted. After some more turns, you'll see something like knots forming, which is actually a second layer of twists. You should be able to safely wind till the second twists cover the entire length of the rubber. Increase winds gradually in successive flights till you reach that stage.

Post a video with more winding!

Half expected that question  Grin
Remove prop holder.
Sand a slight taper (~2degrees) in the top half inch or so of the fuselage.
Stick thin balsa shim to the bottom half inch or so of the fuselage (sharp end facing towards rear).
The idea is to make the prop shaft point slightly down.

As power is increased, it will have a tendency to nose up. Down thrust will compensate.

Your model is slightly tail heavy. Add a small blop of plasticine (smaller than a pea) to the nose. This will correct the wavy flight path.

@arindamt
The rubber you are using is not just a rubber band.
Hope you tried out your model today before dark!
If you send a pm to Saikat sir, i'm sure he'll be happy to see your video and advise.
Regards.

flight was quite good.

as K.K pointed - add downthrust ( the propeller should be pointed slightly downwards
when the plane is level) and maybe a small amount of weight in front.
