Bulk Buy (3-Pack) Estes Recovery Wadding E2274

The recovery wadding, which is designed to prevent damage to the parachute, is installed in between the motor and the parachute. This is required in most Estes rockets, unless they are tumble recovery. Plastic parachutes can singe or melt when exposed directly to the ejection charge from the motor, but the recovery wadding is designed to take the brunt of that ejection.

The recovery wadding is available in a total of 225 sheets, with 75 sheets per pack, which is enough for approximately 54-75 flights. Depending on the motor you are using, a few to several sheets are recommended, so you should refer to your rocket's assembly manual for the recommended number of sheets.
