OUR shock cords? they belong in your rocket!!
TECH NOTE: Our suggestions may not fit your application. Never use “elastic” cords. Elastic cords store the energy of separation and release it by slamming the rocket parts back together, damaging your rocket. Also, elastic-type cords have low breaking strengths. Elastic is for underpants, not for high power rockets. Instead, use a generous amount of non-stretch cord and let air resistance absorb the energy of release. We recommend 15+ feet of cord for up to 4” diameter rockets, and 20+ feet for larger rockets.
