Finally got some time to sit and make another one of these. Kind of thinking how I could attach it, I really don't like the sliver they put in them that the shock cord slides thru. So I added a length of kevalr shock cord(mule tape) after thinking nylon rope for a teather, at least it will slide around the quicklinks. Its not pretty but it will work, all by hand so it took a bit and could be nicer. It will look better if it was ironed out, but its job is to stop fire. So this works for now...
And on a spare pc tested out how I wanted the corner cut for the opening. Best thing was the width of the kevlar for width, then twice it's length thr other way, ill post pics if you ask of that..
And it came in a bag folded up, lol. So I rolled it out and lay it on a flat surface. Slowly the fabric is laying out flat without the crease marks in it. I should go over it with a iron to smooth it out, but haven't yet. Gonna make about 3 or 4 more for various sized BT's and chutes. They will all be interchangeable..
Added pics of how it will be setup for larger rockets. Def need a smaller size quicklink for the Big Daddy if I can find one, if not it stays like that. That chute swivel, I've pulled rubber tires out of the water with them, its not gonna break...
