Riley Q. ★★★★★

This is the exact same 3/8 inch elastic cord I've pulled out of AeroTech kits before, and it's just as tough on its own. The 6-foot length gives me plenty of slack for a rough landing, and the weave feels tight enough to trust with a heavier bird.

Madison Z. ★★★★★

The black elastic has a solid snap to it, and the 6-foot length gives me plenty of slack for a hard ejection without worrying about it fraying. It’s held up through three flights so far, and the cord still looks as tight as the day I got it.

Avery ★★★★★

I tied this cord into my mid-power rocket build and it held up perfectly through three hard flights. The 3/8 inch thickness feels sturdy without being too stiff to knot.
