shock cord

Hello about a month ago I launched a Estes Alpha in the back yard, I was pushing the envelope hehe, decided to lunch it with a c6-5 and the wind grabbed the parachute and it went into the woods. Lucky for me I found it on the ground today. But it was broke by the shock cord. I have a spare shock...

I seek advice on the viability of a modification to the recovery of an Estes 1/100th scale Saturn V. Rather than having the Saturn V upper stage and booster return separately, I want them connected by a common shock cord. They both retain their own parachutes. The upper stage would act like a...

I have a Wildman Journey 75 that I’m building. I read on a vendor web site to Connect your main chute directly to the hard point in the nose cone.

I'm going to replace the 18' 5/8" nylon shock cord that came with the Loc Warlock kit. My replacement will be Kevlar (of course). For those Warlock owners/flyers out there, what width/length is in use? Most of my launches will be H/I/J motors. Any suggestions on vendors with good shock cords...

Hello! Since paper towels and toilet paper appear to be quite desirable these days, I couldn't just throw the empty tubes away. LOL! I found a good Coronavirus model on Thingiverse and made it into a fitting nose cone in Fusion 360. The virus obviously needs supports, but PrusaSlicer also...

The shock cord and anchor are fire resistant. I used this set up on my BT-70 Dragon Rocket without a single failure. A nice feature of building this anchor is it can be flexed to fit any mid power rocket tube and it's really cheap to make. The anchor is installed 3 inches into the tube and glued...
