One of my early TLP builds. Used kevlar shock cord; however I later replaced with elastic since it snapped (one I used was too thin/fragile).

Good flight! Rocket rose pretty high, good ejection and recovery came out, but somewhat bunched up (I haven't had good experiences with mylar chutes in freezing weather. Two small lower fins snapped a bit, but easily repaired. Common landing breakage for this rocket.
