Rocketry Warehouse Mouse 38

[kuririn]

My first fiberglass rocket.
Survived a shock cord break at apogee and came crashing down on an asphalt road on its' maiden.
Some road rash but nothing broken. Nose cone and chute drifted away.
Replaced to fly again. One tough little puppy.

Nice little kit. What are you useing for shock cord?

 

[kuririn]

First flight was kevlar leader with 1/8" elastic shock cod.
The weight in the nose cone was too much for the shock cord and it snapped.
Lesson learned, upgraded the elastic to a PS II shock cord.
We'll see how that works.

I would go with the kevlar for the whole shock cord. Like 4' of it
