## Description

Product Description Estes 2274 Recovery Wadding for model rockets is a vital accessory for any successful Estes rocket launch. This pack includes 75 sheets of flame-resistant 2274 Recovery Wadding designed to protect your rocket’s recovery system. The wadding ensures safe parachute deployment by preventing damage from ejection charges, helping your model rocket shoot for the stars and then safely come down to earth to prepare for a future launch. These sheets are necessary for most Estes rockets (unless the rocket features tumble recovery) and are not reusable after the rocket flies.To use this wadding, place several sheets between the rocket’s motor and the parachute to protect the parachute from the intense heat produced during ejection. Depending on your motor type, you may need a few or several sheets for each flight. Without wadding, plastic parachutes can melt or singe, affecting the rocket’s performance. This pack contains enough sheets for 18–25 launches, ensuring many successful missions and fun outer-space-like adventures when paired with any of the compatible Estes rocket models you’re launching this Christmas or summer. Always follow the NAR (National Association of Rocketry) model-rocket safety code during rocket kit operations.Estes rocket kits are built from the highest-quality components and designed around the unforgettable experience of pressing “launch.” Our hobby and STEM educational science products range across all skill levels, interests, and power levels.

Review: Essential, reliable, and easy to use - The Estes 2274 Recovery Wadding is an essential accessory for any model rocket kit. The 75 sheets are easy to handle and insert into the rocket, providing reliable protection for the parachute during ejection. I’ve used it with multiple launches, and it consistently keeps the parachute from being scorched or tangled.

Highly recommended.
Review: Reliable and essential for rocket launches - Always great to have on hand — this wadding is a must for safe and successful launches. Estes continues to be the best brand when it comes to rocket gear. This pack worked exactly as expected and helped protect all our rockets during launch. It’s flame retardant and does its job well — no damage to the rockets. The quantity was perfect for our co-op; we had enough to launch 40 rockets with no issues. Same price as our local hobby store, so it’s a good value for stocking up. Fun for the kids, and reassuring for the grown-ups knowing the rockets are protected.
