Even sewing elastic can fail. My Rocketarium Jayhawk had its' 1/8" elastic shock cord snap on its' first flight. There is a lot of nose weight on that model. May have been too much for it to handle. Replaced with 1/4" elastic. And you know how elastic can stretch out over time, right? Just look at my BVDs. On second thought, don't do that. Laters. |
