What is the rcovery wading for

Use it to protect your parachute from melting when the hot ejection charge goes off to deploy the parachute.

Amazon says they cannot ship to my address which is a typcal mid-western street address. Why will they ship me rocket engines and not the wadding?

I always have use good Ole TP. Just don't overdo it ,I have seen a few times that too much wadding was in the tube and it didn't allow for the parachute to deploy

I got this stuff for the first time today. There were about 15 two-foot long sheets instead of 75. Is that normal? Are you supposed to cut it up?

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. If you look real close you will see it had cuts to tear off smaller sheets.

Eigentlich wie...

Ich hab sehrnsüchtig auf dieses Zeug gewartet, um meine erste Rakete starten lassen zu können. Als ich das Material auspackte, staunte ich nicht schlecht, dass einzelne Lagen Recycling-Toilettenpapier so teuer sein können.

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. The sheets are high-quality, lightweight, and fit well with rockets recommended for ages 10+. Perfect for beginners and experienced hobbyists alike—makes every launch safer and more enjoyable. Highly recommended.

絶対必需品

これがないとロケット内部のアイテムが焦げるそれでも、詰め込み方が上手くないとモデルロケットのバックファイヤーで焦げたり溶けたりする。一枚がもう一回り大きいのが欲しい所だが、これしかないのがなぁ。
