Hi all,,
I'm putting together a Min Diameter Hawk Mountain Transonic II (54mm Dual Deploy)
The instructions have one glueing the booster shock cord to the inside of the body tube after fraying it a bit (Estes style without the tea bag). I'm not real keen on that idea. I do like a solid connection for my kevlar cord and as little in the way as possible to get my drogue out of the 54mm md rocket. I have been looking at either a center ring with eyebolt glued in some where or one of the Aeropack MD motor retainers. I don't need it for motor retention but it would make a great anchor for the drogue's cord. With either of those options do you drill a hole in the booster to dribble epoxy in where center ring or retainer goes and then fill the hole with epoxy??
What is absolutely the best way to anchor your drogue shock cord in a MD 54mm rocket?
Thanks in advance
Chris
