Quest X-30 Aerospace Plane Part 18, Horizontal Descent

I used one of the bulkhead center disks for a reinforced tied down point.
This disk will spread out the line tension and prevent it from pulling through when the ejection charge is activated.

A hole was punched in the center and a length of heavy carpet and button thread tied on.

A small hole was punched in the shroud body between the rudders.

Before the line was run through the top two layers of Scotch tape were stuck down to strengthen the top.

It's hard to see the lines in the picture, but here's how the model should fall during recovery.
Two 12" parachutes are tied above the nose cone.

There could easily be tangles at ejection.
