Twin engine rubber band powered plane
- 6 years ago
I get lots of requests to make a Rubber Band Powered Plane, even twin engine, and I have been hoping to come across a matched pair of suitable propellers but havent really got a suitable set yet. However I do have a couple of small propellers for electric power so I will use them. it would also fly better if you used the right sort of propellers. The props I used are designed for small electric motors and are meant to spin very fast. Rubber band propellers spin slower so they have wider blades to push more air effectively at lower speeds. The bigger issue is how do you launch a twin engine rubber band powered plane with only two hands? I ran out of light test flying and while I upload this video I am filming a thunder storm.\r

Slider2732 came up with a solution to the two motor launch problem so I made a video to demonstrate it here \r
\r
The only flight I filmed of this plane flying is a very brief clip at the end of this video at about 2.15, after that I sort of lost interest in it.\r
