    We have to agree on one point of view: My explanation should always be from the front, i.e. from the winder, from the weight or from the propeller always in the direction of the rear peg. When braiding, the direction of rotation is clockwise. The weight in the middle shows that the rubber rotates back counterclockwise when the two strands approach each other. Then when the propeller is wound up for flight we turn clockwise, and in flight when the motor turns the propeller it turns counterclockwise. Both times a phase is visible in which the two strands are separated. To prevent the rubber motor from sagging, this phase towards the end of the flight is crucial. Then the strands can twist in on themselves.

    I am a sixty-seven years younger lifetime modeler, new to braiding motors. Your video was very helpful to me! Thank you for posting. Your English and enunciation was fine, no worries thanks again

    Braiding rubber motors and getting rubber motors to fly in general is much more of a science than it looks like. I would l really like to learn this art but I need to focus much more on it. Thx for the explanation and the demonstration, hopefully it will bring the inspiration back!

    Great informative video. I love the tip about hanging a weight from the midpoint of the motor to help with braiding. I use a cordless drill but the weight method looks easier. Thanks!

    Great tips and very easy to understand and your English is very good! I haven’t built rubber power models for many years but seeing some of your videos was very rewarding and inspiring! Also I’d never owned co2 model’s only saw them occasionally at the club or in magazines and hobby shop’s and I’d always wanted one! they look like all the fun of rubber and free flight gliders too but I’ll likely build my own motor and just use compressed air.

      In my next video I will try it again with the english, it will be in about 3 days.

    Thanks for the useful information. Braiding certainly improves duration / performance.

    • @rubberfly
      @rubberfly  Год назад

      The most useful thing about it is that the rubber does not get knotted (bunched up) in the tight hull when it comes off. This has already happened to me with a long rubber. It got knotted in the rear part of the fuselage. The centre of gravity was suddenly too far back and the model crashed. I find walk-along gliding interesting. Greetings to Goa. I was there 32 years ago and still remember it fondly.

      @@rubberfly Thanks for subscribing to my channel. It is mainly a record for me of all my test flights.There some more videos on another older chat which Ihave yet to transfer to this channel. I came to indoor ultralight models through walk along gliders.
      Goa is a great place. But has changed a lot from what you saw 32 years ago.

    Thank you, this video was very helpful. I have seen other videos advising to braid the rubber because it shortens it, but I was confused because when I tried, it was only a little shorter. I thought I must be doing it wrong. Now I understand how it works!

    • @rubberfly

      Thank you. I felt the same way until I noticed the separate strands when winding up while cutting video footage of the big Golden Eagle. That's when it became clear to me...

    Great video, just one thing though, I lubricate before I make the motor up, it makes it a bit slippery but I'm thinking now it may be better to do it afterwards, thanks for a good informative video, cheers.

    Your English is very clear and absolutely understandable.
    Could you expand the clock wise/anti clock wise thing?
    Is it the same for multiple strands?

    Interesting way of braiding. However if you braid anticlockwise you don’t waste the initial turns unwinding it.
