Locate the 3.9” bulkhead with loosely attached u-bolt. Remove the u-bolt and slip it
through the above sewn Kevlar loop end found on the
LONGER SIDE
of the shock
cord and permanently re-attach to the 3.9” bulkhead.Using that bulkhead, epoxy into the
nosecone as far as it will go. Be certain to mount it well because should it fail, your
nosecone will be lost. Do not allow epoxy to get on the Kevlar shock cord.
Using a 5/16”
quick link, connect the loose end of the above Kevlar shock loop (with
piston connected to the nose cone) to the Kevlar bridle found at the av-bay holder, 14”-
15” inside of the upper airframe.
Because of customer requests for the Talon 6 to be dual deployment yet keeping the size
of the rocket the same, an unusual technique must be employed to provide adequate
space for the main parachute. It will be necessary for at least some of the parachute to
be packed inside of the nosecone (it is recommended that a deployment bag be used to
prevent snagging of the chute). To help facilitate that the nosecone and parachute
separate from one another at the required time, three feet of 2” wide elastic strap has
been included to be cut and epoxied inside of the nose cone as shown in the following
photo. This will assist the event to occur.
