Protect your rocket with Estes recovery wadding—an essential for every launch. Recovery wadding is a flame-resistant material placed between the engine and recovery system to shield parachutes and streamers from the hot ejection charge. Without it, your recovery gear could melt or burn, making wadding a must-have for safe, reusable flights.
Designed for use in all Estes rockets with parachute or streamer recovery. Whether you're flying a beginner kit or a high-powered model, recovery wadding helps ensure a successful descent and protects your rocket's internal components. Estes wadding is pre-cut, easy to use, and works with standard 18mm, 24mm, and 29mm engine rockets.
Made from flame-retardant, biodegradable material. Estes recovery wadding meets safety standards for model rocketry and is environmentally friendly—safe for both your rocket and your launch site. It's lightweight, non-toxic, and designed to disperse after use, leaving no mess behind.
Stock up for multiple launches or classroom activities. Available in multi-sheet packs, Estes recovery wadding is perfect for hobbyists, educators, and group launch events. Explore the full collection to keep your recovery systems safe and your rockets flying again and again.
