Frequently Asked QuestionsEverything you need to know
Why do I need Estes Model Rocket Recovery Wadding for my launches?
Estes Model Rocket Recovery Wadding creates a thermal shield that protects your rocket's parachute or streamer from burning hot ejection gases. Without wadding, heat from the motor can melt plastic or cloth parachutes, resulting in recovery failures.
How many sheets of Estes Model Rocket Recovery Wadding should I use per flight?
The required amount of Estes Model Rocket Recovery Wadding depends on your body tube size. Typically, 3 to 4 loosely crumpled sheets are required for standard body tubes to create a tight thermal barrier. Consult the packaging diagram for specific body tube size guidance.
Is Estes Model Rocket Recovery Wadding safe for the environment?
Yes, Estes Model Rocket Recovery Wadding is made from a flame-retardant treated paper that is fully biodegradable, making it safe for open field launches.
