Quick question for anyone who has put together either of there older Estes kits, or another utilizing a paper fairing shroud as specified. It tapers up from a narrow body tube to a wider nosecone or payload section (or Camroc). Did your kit contain somewhat heavy paper stock (like shock cord mount) for this shroud? Or ordinary lightweight paper (like instructions)? I built my Camroc carrier today and just used plain paper from my printer to build this cone shroud piece, and now I am wondering if it will be durable enough. Maybe something like manilla folder thickness would be better? I haven't built the Honest John yet, but its shroud looks to be quite similar. Thanks!
