Thank you for posting this! A "complementary repair" (since you had to remove the shock cord anchor; I devised the following repair [my friend Dr. Roy F. Houchin tested it and wrote the article] with scale models in mind, too) is a removable shock cord anchor (see: http://www.oldrocketforum.com/showt...able+shock+cord and http://www.apogeerockets.com/educat...wsletter231.pdf ). There is no reason why body tubes cannot be kept flight-worthy indefinitely.
