The Kevlar line was marked just below the upper lip of the body tube.
Feed the Kevlar back through the engine mount and nozzle.
Tie a overhand loop knot in the Kevlar and elastic shock cord. The mark on the Kevlar should end up at the top of the Kevlar loop knot.
You can join the two lines as shown: CLICK HERE
This is certainly not the only way to tie Kevlar and elastic together. It's just the way I do it.
The nose cone fit was loose and required almost one full wrap of tape around the shoulder.
For a smoother insertion in the body tube - Roll the tape over the shoulder edge.
Noting the configuration of this rocket (with the twin booms), perhaps rigging the recovery so that it comes down horizontally (like on the Quest X-30 Aerospace Plane) might be something to consider?
ReplyDeleteHi Naoto,
DeleteThat would be the best way to go - I've used a horizontal descent on different models before!
