I'm moving my new, re-built Mega Der Red Max from elastic to nylon, I have never used Nylon before, and just want to make sure there are no issues with this setup before launching.
Rocket is 40 inches in height. Shock cord is roughly 12 feet. I understand that some individuals use Kevlar for inside the rocket, then connect that to the nylon, I am not going this route and would prefer to just attach the nylon directly inside the rocket.
Uni Knot connecting quick link to nylon shock cord. This then gets mounted inside of the rocket on the eye bolt. (This knot will be taped with masking tape to protect it).
Nomex blanket connected near aft end of rocket. Quick link with nylon shock cord is now attached.
Uni knot connecting nylon shock cord to nose cone (may change to another quick link).
Everything folder up. Nylon shock cord braided to reduce size before loading.
