Ernesto, I made a couple of mistakes in the post. The tower hobbies link should have been : http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXE637&P=7 This is the 1/8" rubber (3mm). That's the thickness you want. I've actually used the 3/16" ID rubber but I have to be very careful to limit how far I stretch the rubber. You can fold the wing if you put too much pull on the Bug. The length of rubber would depend on how large a field you fly from. John John Gallagher <gldrgidr@...> wrote: Recent Activity 5 New Members Visit Your Group Y!

You might be able to look at a medical supply house for latex surgical tubing. Key rings work for the rings and kite string. The size depends on how large the field is, where you fly.
