Hello All
I am in the process of adding a payload section to a couple of my 3.9" dia. rockets.
I decided to go with a 3" dia. payload bay just to give the rockets a little different look.
The problem I have is with the shock cord attachment point on the 3.9" to 3.0" reducer I have.
It is small dia. plastic under 1/8" and I do not trust it.
It does not make much sense to attach a 5/8" nylon shock cord with a 3/16" quick link to a 1/8" dia. piece of plastic.
I would like to attach the shock cord to an eye bolt as I do on nose cones.
The problem here is the plastic on the bottom of the reducer is to thin to drill and tap for an eye bolt.
Suggestions anyone.
Thanks much
