Hey folks,
I purchased several Flutter-By kits, and put together two of them. One of them, I used about a 20" length of kite string to tie together in hopes the pieces stay close together after the ejection charge. It's tied around the engine tube...trying to avoid the "zipper" thing people talk about.
Is this a good idea? I don't have any kevlar cord (although I have some olllllld kevlar thread from craft projects over 15 years ago, been stored all that time)
Any suggestions for shock-cording the remaining 4 Flutter-bys as my son and I build them?
