I was looking for a shock cord alternative as the mid power engine and heavier rocket make me uneasy with the Estes glued paper method. I was working on a bracket design that allows for easy shock cord replacement and think I have a good design but wanted to see other's thoughts as I am still very new to the rocketry world.
Any thoughts on this design? I mostly saw designs that attach to the motor mount in some way. This is suspended in a lower but similar section as the paper mount. it is chamfered on the bottom to prevent any turbulence from the ejection charge or hang up of wading, etc. It has two channels for use if no breaks or potential for a centered parachute line/dual parachute lines.
