Rocketry Friends,
This weekend I built eight Estes rockets including four Pro Series rockets. I expected the shock cords for the Pro Series rockets to be longer than LPR/E2X rockets but they are even longer than I expected. Usually when I build a rocket I make sure the shock cord is longer than the overall length of the rocket but the shock cords included with the Pro Series are much longer than that.
I have read in this forum that formulas exist for proper shock cord length. However I was hoping someone might provided me with a quick shortcut.
TIA,
Rick
