I am not an expert, but I made more than 5 minutes in my space, but with a bit larger wingspan, than 7" of a ministick. They still maintain small circle, even with 10" ws. But for minis, the problem is that with higher P/D than ~1.5 it gets tricky because of a small circle radius. Thats why all my room models have looots of wash. Maybe in the winter I will try to push it above 5' for the minis (-; Regards.
I have to work with a small circle also on my a bit small outdoor location, so I have to be used to it;) Its inefficient indeed and it costs me as much as lot of washout does. That's probably much. Thank you for the kind words!
This is Awesome in a small room. Could you please let me know the Type of Rubber band used and where did you bought them from? It looks like a FAI TAN but I am unable to get any of them in India. Also is it 1/8"?
Thank you! Rubber is indeed FAI Tan SuperSport. You can buy that online in many places, I paste few links below. Those models are about 7 inches wingspan and are powered using one strand, not loop of 1/16 rubber. www.samsmodels.com/products/rubber-lube/rubber-motor-strip volareproducts.com/BUY/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=77_37 www.ebay.com/itm/contest-rubber-FAI-tan-super-sport-motor-stock-band-In-coments-state-size-Qty-/181696553914
Depends on the weight, and airplane of course but from 9" to 13" long. Motor sticks are 5" long here. More heavy like 1.2g use shorter motors, since torque at one point is not enough anyways to keep heavy airplane in the air. Also more rubber - more weight. But lighter ones will still have enough lift generated to stay above even with more rubber weight. If you tell me what is your airplane weight and wingspan, and distance from prop hook to rear hook, I could suggest you what rubber you should use.
Getting 5 minutes in that tiny space would be amazing.

Turning so tight is not efficient and I would think the plane would be flying through its' own wake. You have done well.

Nice progression!

Thanks a lot :)
Just one last question....(before I come-up with another one ;) ) whats the length of the Rubber band?
