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.

  1. Why not run the Kevlar out the back of the motor mount and tie the elastic higher up?

  2. I would normally do that!
    The 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.
