Thank goodness for the invention of the tri-fold shock cord mount. I remember the days of my youth when the only method in popular use was a double slit in the body tube, then feeding the rubber or elastic cord through and knotting the end. Quite unsightly.
However, most modelers nowdays use a kevlar leader tied to the motor tube. Yet Estes still clings to the tri-fold mount. I haven't seen a single Estes kit that uses kevlar. Have you? Time for Estes to come into the 21st century, methinks.
