Flame resistant recovery wadding protects the recovery system and is necessary to launch model rockets.
The flame-resistant wadding is required in most Estes rockets unless they are tumble recovery. Recovery wadding is installed in between the motor and the parachute and is designed to prevent damage to the parachute. Plastic parachutes can singe or melt when exposed directly to the ejection charge from the motor, but recovery wadding is designed to take the brunt of that ejection.
Depending on the motor you are using, a few to several sheets are recommended.
Contains 75 sheets, enough for about 18-25 flights and is necessary to launch model rockets.

These worked well and provided a good visual site for locating the RIPTIDE as it popped it's chute and drifted down for the next shot! We did use the highest number of sheets recommended for the C6-5 to achieve adequate protection for the chute and its components. After three launches there were only very slight scorch marks on the chute. Nothing to keep us from launching more IF we had brought more engines...
