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!
I have to say I am happy to have found your videos..I use to compete rubber Freeflight here in Texas utill my health made it to difficult for me to enjoy the sport..its always a pleasure to watch others now flying...thank you for sharing.
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.
Thank you for the comment. Do you know the co2 group of my friend George Kandylakis? facebook.com/groups/1485693254944963/ In my next video I will try it again with the english, it will be in about 3 days.
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!
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...
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.
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.
Thank you Mark. I had the text spoken to me by a translation program and then practiced...But this hobby still makes me become better in english. Greetings from Switzerland 😊
Very nice. 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?

Very good video and you did a great job with your English translation.
Your English is wonderful. Thanks for the demonstration.
Thanks very much 😁
Great video and very good English, well done for modelling the Antonov
Thank you. That motivates me to do it again, speaking English...
Simply a great short video! Too the point!!!
Good English I had no idea this was your first English video!!!
Thank you, this motivates me to do it again.

Great video, and great English 😊

Thankyou Sir, your English is good and your video very instructional.
Thank you! 😁

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

You speak English bed well. I enjoyed your video. 👍
Thank you!

Thank-you it was very helpful
Great video, and perfect English , thank you for sharing 😊

@@rubberfly I really enjoy your videos and I am looking forward to seeing more!😜
Your English is amazing!
Thank you!
Wonderful explanation, thank you.
Thank you!
this is very helpful for me. thank you for making this video!
Looks like we're watching the same videos Collin, cheers
You are welcome!😄
Nice technique. The prop shaft works very well too.
Well done. 👍
good video and your English is good too.
Very nice.
Your English is very clear and absolutely understandable.

This also works with multiple strands.
Interesting way of braiding. However if you braid anticlockwise you don’t waste the initial turns unwinding it.
Your English was very understandable. Where did you get the rubber material and winding device? My son needs these for a science project.
Thank you. In America : volareproducts.com/blog/?product_cat=winders

Good job😊
thank you, very interesting
Thanks for watching!
Good job
Thank you 😁
spoken very well
Thank you 😁
excellent!
Where do you get the yellow unit to wind the rubber band ?

you might wat to put some soft tubing over your motor hook
Thanks - That certainly wouldn't do any harm. Fortunately, with 80% maximum turns, I haven't had any rubber cracks yet.
Istimewa👍👍

Thank you !
