Yup--that was a favorite Centuri style. They advocated tying the shock cord (or the nose cone, in some cases, including the Mach 10's) to a long streamer in its middle. The miniature "flight profile" drawings accompanying the kit illustrations in their catalogs' kit citations also showed this for their streamer-recovered models such as the Micron, the Bandito, and (for the nose cone "target marker") the Mach 10.
