I called Estes for some replacement parts last week for my Heatseeker and they said they will throw in a new shock cord.
(my nosecone is still floating )
I said I probably will use kevlar cord because of the diameter of the body tube and they said we are sending you a new type
of shock cord. They said it is rubberband like and should be using them on all future Estes rockets.
It came on Saturday and sure enough its a grey rubberband material....sorry no pictures yet ...anyone heard anything else on this?
I assume we still glue it or tie it as usual, I did not recieve any directions with it. I will be the Guinee pig.
