Quest Raptor Build Part 21 Loose Ends

The shock cord was tied to the nose cone shoulder lug with a Duncan Loop knot. See the knot instructions HERE
This is my favorite knot for tying a shock cord to a screw eye or lug.
Both of the line ends face down making less chance for the end to get caught between the shoulder and body tube.

The supplied shock cord was only about 18" long so I'll add more length to it.
The parachute will be clipped on to a loop in the shock cord about 1/3 the way down from the nose cone.


I forgot about the launch lug!
The lug will be sprayed aluminum. It's sitting on three toothpicks for a small spraying handle.
I'll have to sand off the lug paint and scrape the body tube where it will be glued.
