Shock Cord Mounting for Building Model Rockets

Video Transcript

"So, the rocket's starting to take shape. We have fins, we have the engine mount, the engine mount clip, polar clip. We have the launch lug tube. The next thing we need to do is we need to mount the shock cord. To mount the shock cord, it's going to go about an inch inside the body tube. The reason for you to put it in an inch is because your nose cone has to sit inside your body tube and to be hold in place. To do this, add glue to the shock cord, mount...shock cord assembly mount, like I just did, and alls I do is you take it about up to your second knuckle on your finger -it'd be far enough in the body tube to mount the shock cord- hold it, and in my case since I'm using Super Glue I've got to hold it a little bit longer, and what we'll do is after it's in there we'll have a shock cord mounted to the rocket."
