Continuing on with Jason's shock cord design, Here's what it looks made with 24 lb. paper.
The shock cord was laced through the three holes.
The lower half was folded over and glued over the shock cord.
I like this design because it is thinner than the Estes Tri-Fold design. The shock cord is not folded over itself two or three times.
Even from the back you can see how the cord lays beside itself. I did thread the cord under the top weave.
The low side of the mount (facing up) is less of a obstruction and more of a "ramp" before the low side of the shock cord.
The parachute would pass by this style of mount easier at ejection.
Jason uses the "Double Glue" method to attach the mount in the body tube. Use a rounded dowel to press the mount into place.
After the glued mount is dry, Jason recommends a coat of glue over the top of the mount - Good advice.
