Title: Rubber powered prop supplier and a few other items
Post by: KALYANPRODHAN on April 17, 2011, 08:47:55 AM
Hi,

Does anyone know the low cost rubber powered prop supplier of india?
Of course Tan Sport rubber too with winder if possible.

I have seen robotics wheel & chain may be used to build up winders but have no cost idea.

Moreover Magnets suppliers for actuators of Micro RC.

GWS SF props work good with rubber band power.

GWS slow flier props are heavy for light weight planes/gliders. I have tried earlier with 1147 prop but totally useless for rubber power.

Hey just remembered, last friday i had been to Starmark ,Emami mall near exide to buy some acrylic paint. I saw there they had rubber powered models for sale and were also selling winders as separate. Don't remember the prices but there were plenty of models there.

11x4.7 is a huge prop, i am not sure what size plane you are making but i have use 7x6 gws sf prop with great success on small chuck gliders. Infact i am planning to change the stock prop of my new rubber band powered model to a 6x5 gws sf for better performance.

@rohitgupta322 was it something like this :) winder is on the right.

It's a motorised winder. I prefer hand winders like handdrill (of course this is a good winder too) with counters in right side.

11x4 is not a huge prop for serious rubber powered model. A rubber powered model needs to maximize every revolution and convert that into air benath the wheels/wings. A larger and slower prop is more efficent in hauling up than a smaller one moving at higher speed which translates into higher speeds for the model

This is not the TAN Sport rubber. TAN-II or TAN Sport rubber of 1/16" single you can wind 500 turn in a inch of length. The above mentioned items for holding the wing with fuselage I Think.
