Re-use of Rubber Bands?
also, don't get those rubber bands from your hobby shop. you get only 100 for about 8 bucks. at office depot, you can get 1000 #64 rubber bands for about $4. that's 20x the value, and lasts ou twice as long. There is no downside to them

Babes, you better find you another hobby shop! I buy a pound of #64s (about 100) for a buck seventy-five!

please don't call me babes, it is traumatizing. Anyway, i guess it is just the location. I live in california, you live in michigan. Even so though, you have to make the trip to get rubber bands 1 tenth as often.

Re-use of Rubber Bands?
That's what I enjoy about RCU... You get lot's of ideas on the same subject.
I do not fly a model with rubber bands enough to warrent keeping them. I just get a bag from Office Depot and keep them in my cool basement in a dark drawer and thow som ein the field box if I'm going to fly that plane that day. AND I carry them back home with me after I fly and throw them away.
