Initially built stock, but later modified with kevlar line epoxied t' inside nosecone base and other end has a small piece o' Nomex. A bit o' excess line is then taped t' t' side o' t' motor so that durin' ejection it pulls out t' line as well as keeps t' rocket closer t' t' motor (rather than shootin' it away in opposite directions.

First new rocket since me return t' rocketry after 6 years away. Used A8 figurin' it wouldn't be a problem, but oh boy...sucker shot up smartly and out o' sight! I did see t' delay charge, arrr, but couldn't see t' rocket at all since it be too high up. A long search across t' frozen lake (which had a lot o' snow clumps from snowmobiles) resulted in me findin' t' motor first and later t' rocket about 500' away! After this I decided t' try somethin' t' prevent this from happenin' again.
