Estes Reflector Build, Part 9, Replaceable Kevlar Install Part 2
Cut off the excess but leave about 3/4" extending beyond the end of the tube for a tail .
You want some Kevlar to extend out the back so you have something to grab onto.
Tuck the excess tail between the two tubes.
Out the top tie a loop knot for an attachment point for the elastic.
The Kevlar does go beyond the tube edge so a square of doubled-up masking tape will go over the line to prevent zippering.

Why not run the Kevlar out the back of the motor mount and tie the elastic higher up?
ReplyDeleteI would normally do that!
ReplyDeleteThe tube is short and doesn't allow enough length out the back to tie the Kevlar on.
Believe me, I tried. This'll work, though.
