Nice, the 100# cord looks to be a similar fine weave to the kind Apogee sells, and 0.53/ft rather than 0.64/ft. Kind of silly that the 300# stuff comes in short 6.5 ft lengths, though.

Prices seem a bit steep.
One can get 50' of 2000lb rated Kevlar (Aramid) cord on ebay for $26.

When have you ever known Estes to be in expensive with their parts?

I buy aramid cord on AliExpress. It's cheaper than Amazon for the same stuff Emma's Kites sells.

So are we going to have the Amamid slice instead of the Estes dent?

Use both enough Kevlar cord (shorter than sticking out of body tube) and enough elastic cord tied to it, and you get neither a Kevlar cut nor an Estes Dent in a balsa cone.
IMPROPER building alone results in these issues.
