Hello All!
I am finally working on my Estes 65 Anniversary rocket build and, as usual, the kit came with an elastic shock cord. I have heard stories of older models having the elastic cord becoming brittle over the years and I want this kit to last a while. Are there any good alternatives for the elastic shock cord on smaller models like the Blue Sapphire? Would the inner strands of Paracord be good substitute? Any other alternatives that you have tried?
I have also been thinking of a system that would allow the chosen shock cord to be replaced easily. Any thoughts on this as well?
Thanks!
