I'm saying it is a bad scientific experiment to use as proof of the hypothetical scenario in this discussion of the aircraft and the conveyor belt.

With the way you are proposing the balsa wood plane experiment, you are moving away and beyond the conditions set in the original hypothetical scenario.

You keep forgetting that in the original scenario the conveyor matches the aircraft's speed. Without the numerous calculations I mentioned in my earlier post you are not duplicating the conditions for the hypothetical scenario by just spinning any rubber band plane over any treadmill.
