Hose Monster Rubber Specs
Bungee tension is tested at 300% elongation and may vary up to 20% depending on temperature, age, etc. A general rule of thumb for high start launching: Rubber Pull = 5 X Model weight. A "floater" can get by with less pull and a fast composite plane can usually take more.
The following can be used as a guideline:
| Type | Dimensions | Tension @ 300% |
|---|---|---|
| 2m. rubber | 1/8"ID x 1/16" Wall | 6 lbs of tension |
| 2m Comp. rubber | 1/8"ID x 3/32" Wall | 8 to 10 lbs of tension |
| 3m rubber | 1/8"ID x 1/8" Wall | 14 To 18 lbs of tension |
| Unlimited rubber | 1/8"ID x 5/32" Wall | 20 To 24 lbs of tension |
| Standard Bungee | 1/4"ID x 1/8" Wall | 28 To 35 lbs of tension |
| Mega Bungee | 1/4" ID x 3/16" Wall | 35 To 50 lbs of tension |
| Insane Mega Bungee | 1/4" ID x 1/4" Wall | 50 To 80 lbs of tension |
All Bungees come with connectors installed and a ring on each end. The extra ring can be used as a launch ring.
