Rubber power in two forms are shown in the photo (if you look closely). Most would associate rubber power with the loop of rubber twisted into knots that drives a propeller. Some of the indoor Radio Control models use rubber power for flights lasting 5 minutes or more. Also shown is the Hi Start type of glider launcher that uses stretched surgical tubing for energy to launch gliders into the air. Last Updated 10/21/00 Engine Types
