I used to use rubber bands to wind up the props on my balsa airplanes.

Kinda hard to find the planes anymore.



They're still around.

Holy Crap! Look at the prices!
Seems like I remember buying them for a quarter and it included a spare
rubber band.

I remember them being higher than a quarter.
Maybe 39 or 49 cents. Late 1950's.
AJ Flyer - I think - was the popular one here.
