Wolverine Jayhawk Build, Part 1, Parts


All the Jayhawk parts -  

The parts of interest: 
The ridged dowel  tells me this is a BMS produced nose cone.
The dowel is glued in the base of the nose cone, the screw eye is screwed into the dowel making a very strong attachment.

The outside of the engine mount tube seems rough. I'm sure it is strong enough, but the low end is exposed and will be seen.

The Kevlar is the braided style, plenty strong for a LPR model.

The 12" parachute is cut from sheet table cover plastic.
While the chute is six-sided, there are eight reinforcement disks included.
The shroud lines are strong black thread. The line is one continuous strand and will be cut into three equal lengths.
