Quest Cobalt - Packing the Streamer TIP



I had to be sure the streamer would be pulled out of the nose cone at ejection.
Here's one easy way to get it done -

Set the nose cone tip into the body tube to hold it.
Stuff all the shock cord and some of the Kevlar cord into the nose cone cavity FIRST, before the streamer.



Press the streamer into the nose cone about an inch and a half at a time.

Set the streamer on top of the shock cord and Kevlar already in the front nose end of the nose cone.




The nose cone easily slides into place without the streamer and shock cords in the way.
At ejection, the the shock cords (above the streamer) help pull the streamer out.
Pull out the nose cone to see the streamer is pulled from the nose cone cavity.
Try this a few times to get it right with little resistance.
