Why put the straw on the BT and not MMT between centering rings? Again, honest question. Not a challenge.I was working on my Magg this morning, so here's a picture of it. The coffee straw runs along the BT on the outside, Kevlar string tied around the motor tube. The other end ties to the shock cord, just short of zipper length.
I misspoke there. The straw is actually glued to the centering rings, but it runs along the BT side instead of being placed directly next to the motor tube. Just in case it should ever get too hot. That was my thinking at the time I started doing it that way, but now I don't think the MT ever gets hot enough to matter.Why put the straw on the BT and not MMT between centering rings?
F, G? After that (38mm and up), shock cord mounts use eyebolts and epoxy and you showed me a better way to hook it up.but up to what power range would you take it?
I suppose it could be done with bigger motors, but that Zephyr is my first HPR, and I don't know anything about HPR stress points yet. Building per instructions. Maybe next time? It would require a larger tube and heavier cord. Or if you had a 1/4"+ hole you could probably skip the tube. Easy enough to thread something through that size opening.It seems to be more of an elegant solution than the one I offered you.

When Public Enemy was in business, their rockets came with bungee-type cord for shock cords. As for washing kevlar shock cords, what method and detergents do people use? I figure dishwashing liquid and hand-washed with warm water might be a safe method, but I’m tempted to just throw them in the washing machine and drop in a tide pod. Though, I might try that with a kevlar chute protector that is looking particularly nasty first.
I get around this by a) flying too much motor near trees and b) overtrimming delays. No more dirty chutes to take home and wash.I washed a handful of chutes and lines in the washing machine over the years. I will never, ever do that again. The material was fine, but it took countless hours to untangle. Hand wash one at a time and hang outside to dry is my only method moving forward (or throw away and buy more).
I have seen people doing this at my local launches. Never had the chance to do it since I haven't flown anything too crazy to use this method. Maybe I will try it on my Level 2 3" Punisher build.+1
Add to that: Proper length of your recovery harness as well as several folds along the length that are lightly bound with tape around the folds. This serves to dissipate energy as the harness is extended. Has worked very well for me for a long time.
