Just got back to this thread.
FWIW I would strongly recommend nylon over Kevlar for the recovery system. If you want to exploit the flame resistance of Kevlar then use it for the 15-20’ closest to the chargers (what I do on my builds).
The stretch in nylon, however minimal, will pay large dividends when recovering a 300+ pound bird. Especially if the charges do not separate the rocket at the ideal time.
...and +1 for the “Kate” system
