All,
I'm sure this has been an ongoing debate for years, but simply put, for those of you that prefer using Kevlar, do you replace the elastic rubber cords with Kevlar on 100% of your rockets, or just those that are more prone to burning through? Obviously, doing it from the beginning of the build is a lot easier than retrofitting it after building, or even worse, after the rubber cord burns up..........
I'm building an Estes Spirit right now and am considering cutting out the pre-installed rubber cord and running Kevlar through the fin can before I glue everything up. Again, my question is if there is a significant number of folks that run Kevlar in ALL rockets if at all possible? Thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
