Thanks for that George, it was a great help👌

thats all fine and well now show us the finished product with the crocket hook and rubber installed on the S hook

Thanks George, Will try to make later today using homemade HH benders. How does the motor attatch? I'd like to use "O" rings..

Excellent, George!

Thank you!

Nice video , from where I can get wire bender ?

Good tutorial. You forgot to mention the diagonal cutter, which is included in your pliers, and the file or stone which is used to deburr the cut ends. When you cut wire with dikes, you should hold both pieces, so the cutoff won't shoot across the room. I am skeptical that the reverse S (or Z) is more effective than a simple triangular stirrup, with the rubber going on the straight piece that is perpendicular to the axis. It is the fact that the wire is perpendicular to the motor axis that keeps it from twisting off the hook. It has no reason to go either way. Tightly twisted, lubricated rubber will twist itself off the end or up onto the shaft if the hook is circular. If you watch motors twisting off circular hooks, you see that the motor goes off to the side so it rotates around the axis of the circle in the direction of the twist. When a motor forms knots, the rubber is going off to the side of the axis, wrapping around the axis and perpendicular to it. If the wire is perpendicular to the axis, there is no preferred direction for it to twist. I think the square Peck hooks work well. The V helps keep the motor centered. I use a circular hook formed as a right handed pigtail with the end crossing over the shaft. Uses less wire, easier to form, seems to work. In a pinch, I have used two pegs cut from a nail, clamped in the vise, to form wire. You can also bend a tight U from wire, like a cloths hanger, in the same way. Make the gap a wee bit bigger than the wire diameter. I use the end grain of a block of wood (3/4" x 1 1/2" x 3") to push the wire. It gives better leverage and doesn't bend the wire you don't want bent.

What on earth is this used for / control leakage ?

Propeller shaft for rubber powered model airplane. The rubber goes in the hook.

What are they used for?

These are free flight rubber powered propeller shafts for those models. This is the hook necessary when using Crocket rubber hook castings to wind your motor with and then hooking that wound motor to these special hooks that are designed to keep the cast hook from climbing up the shaft of the prop's. Reverse "S" hooks is what most competition flyers use on their airplanes. Stick and tissue flying free flight model airplanes.

Some people use O rings instead of Crocket Hooks, which are available from Volare.

Come hai fatto il cilindro

I clamp two pieces of music wire in the vice. No need for the tool.
