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.

There were about 15 two-foot long sheets instead of 75. Is that normal? Are you supposed to cut it up?** A: yes, tear it up when you go to stuff it in your rocket, wad each piece to take up room and fill the rocket with 1 to 2 inches to protect the recovery device.
