Estes Hi-Flier XL, #3226 Build, Part 6, Making A Baffle

I'll be adding a small reinforcement disk over the underside of the upper disk.
This does two things - It protects and covers the Kevlar line from the ejection charge and reinforces the baffle disk.


A notch was cut into the disk so it will glue flat over the Kevlar line.




Here's how the upper disk looks before gluing onto the red coupler.
On the left is the underside of the upper disk. The Kevlar line is under the small center disk.
On the right is the top side of the disk with the Kevlar securely tied.




Two clothespins were used to clamp the disk in place while the glue dried.
