Because of the high humidity, the tissue covering on the plane eventually wilted to a very wet and saggy, wavy and droopy, airfoil, and was not able then to create ANY lift !!! - BUT - I got my longest flight yet, on the second try, of 56 SECONDS !!! , on 1050 winds of the rubber, using a 15:1 winder (70 turns on the crank), and a winding stooge, before it would eventually not even hold level flights any more when the tissue became so waterlogged! I am trying to break the one minute of flight threshold barrier! By the way, as soon as I brought that wilted, waterlogged tissue airplane, back into my air-conditioned apartment, where the hot moisture in the air had been taken away, the tissue MAGICALLY shrunk back to a "drum taught", perfect airfoil !!
