BMS School Rocket, Build, Part 9, Tying It All Together

The nose cone shoulder was masked using a rolled sheet of copy paper and masking tape. 
Normally I don't tie on the shock cord until after it is painted. 



The kit is supplied with a Kevlar shock cord. I added a length of elastic.

The elastic and Kevlar was tied together using interlocking loops.
The elastic was tied to the screw eye using a Duncan Uni-Knot. 









From the instructions - 
Tape, fold and staple the streamer to the shock cord.







The shock cord is chrome Mylar. 
It is thick Mylar, 2" wide x 24" long.
